Der Schmerz lässt die Hühner gackern und die Menschen dichten

La douleur fait caqueter les poules et transforme les hommes en poètes
Joachim Gerner
Peter Heller
1986 Germany 60 minutes undetermined

Portrait of an old Alsacian anarchist, wine grower and poet, whose destiny reflects that of his region, torn between France and Germany: changes in nationality, two world wars, the coexistence of three languages. All this makes for an eventful life, on which Gaston’s poems are based.
