Der Bastard
Der Bastard
1983, German. Directed by Klaus Gendries.
The two-part film describes the unusual fate of a worker that was born out of wedlock in 1925 as a "bastard", as it was called at the time. Even though his birth was under a special star, his life is also full of ups and downs: gain and loss, victory and defeat, laughter and tears, all of this is always close together in Rando's life. And people from the most diverse backgrounds cross Rando's lifelines. Some are of good character and will help him, while others will throw a spanner in the works. But Rando is not the type to stumble; he masters any situation with vitality, irrepressible vigor and his proletarian instinct. Rando is often a wise man, but he is also often a fool -- those around him never know what to expect.
