Langhans - A Last Documentary(2025)

Overview

Rainer Langhans – the old hippie with the long, white hair – is preparing for his death. The self-proclaimed last of the ‘68ers, co-founder of Commune 1, self-promoter, and contradictory outsider lives with his companions and rehearses dying. Through interviews with companions, siblings, and confidants, previously unpublished archive material, and offbeat, fictional scenes, a multi-layered portrait emerges – sometimes serious, sometimes ironic, always contradictory. How can this flamboyant media figure be captured? And what remains when the pose fades? A final look at an eccentric dreamer who always only wanted one thing: to be human.
