The year is 1919, the Great War is over, and Dörte Helm (Anna Maria Mühe) has joined up with an unassuming group of young artists and revolutionaries who will one day be called the Golden Generation of Bauhaus, cultivating modern aesthetics when she's not gripped at the heartstrings by lauded architect Walter Gropius (August Diehl). Inspired by an incredible period of design history, BAUHAUS: A NEW ERA presents a story of love, betrayal, and the loss of paradise.
