During a trip to Cuba in 1969, Hans Werner Henze encountered the story of an enslaved man's self-liberation. This biography found expression in his complex work El Cimarrón, driven by the hope that art could contribute to changing the world. Director Matthias Piro reads the life stories of the protagonist and composer from a contemporary perspective: How do we use history as a canvas for political utopias? How do we remember?
