Summary

Barbara Morgenstern - Doing It For Love

Barbara Morgenstern, pioneer of lyrical electro-pop, is working on a new album. The first lyrics and harmonies are written in her apartment. During rehearsals with her band, she fine-tunes the arrangements. This is followed by recordings in the legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin, press photos, the design of the album cover, a first music video and tour planning. There are questions in the background: how experimental can the album be, how political should it be, in what format can it be presented live? In the end, Morgenstern takes to the stage to play the new songs for her fans for the first time, the songs from "In anderem Licht". In her film, director Sabine Herpich ("Art comes from the Beak the Way it has grown") accompanies Morgenstern's artistic work process from the first intuitive ideas to the live performance with an attentive, calm view. The creation of the album succeeds because the individual voices listen to each other. As if by chance, an intimate portrait of an artist develops, for whom music is a place of retreat, solace and friendship – and the means of choice for reflecting on her own position in the world. A film about doing it for Love.
