Julia von Heinz says with conviction that she could never have married someone who was politically shaped differently than she was.
Then she pauses.
"Sounds almost like a sect."
The director is in Bonn's old town.
She lived here in the early 1990s - and the sect she talks about is the Antifa.
Now Heinz, 44, has made a film that is inspired by what she herself experienced in her youth.
"And tomorrow the whole world" is its name, and before it hits the cinema at the end of October, the film is now celebrating its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
In "And tomorrow the whole world" Heinz transfers her own story into the present: In view of right-wing electoral successes and the attacks on refugee accommodation, law student Luisa (Mala Emde) asks herself whether her involvement in a left-wing residential and cultural project is enough to make the shift to the right fend off.
The film title is taken from a battle song by the National Socialist German Labor Front; it is now banned.
"Because today Germany belongs to us and tomorrow the whole world" is the full line.
Why this quote, is it that time again, can the political situation today, the rise of right-wing populists, be compared with that of the 1930s?
