Après son premier amour, le jeune Edvard Munch se rend à Berlin où la révélation de son génie se heurte aux réticences de l’arrière-garde. On le retrouve plus tard à Copenhague, en proie aux doutes et en lutte contre ses propres démons. Au crépuscule de sa vie, il consacre ses dernières heures à préserver son œuvre de la mainmise des nazis qui occupent la Norvège. Ces motifs dressent le portrait foisonnant et changeant de l’homme derrière Le Cri.

A city, a man, a woman. This time it's glittering Zurich. The protagonists: Karl and Lisa. They fall in love. The usual. But Karl is a so-called 'loser'. Does drugs, borrows money and is in debt everywhere. Responsibility is alien to him. He lives day to day, detests relationships and he's heading straight for the abyss. Finally, when he loses Lisa, too, he has a major breakdown and finally begins to fight for both her and himself. Lisa is disappointed by Karl's way of life, even though she isn't a shining example of responsibility herself. Both are running from reality. And what was that about 'devotion', 'freedom' and 'trust'? This is a film about love. Not the conquering-all kind but real love. With all its weaknesses, its volatility, and its egoism.

The spin-off to the original series 'In aller Freundschaft' focuses on the young doctors in a fictional clinic in Erfurt. In this emotional drama series, hospital staffers and patients navigate life's challenges.
