Naked Beauty

What is it about?

"So that a thousand years after we die, people may see how beautiful you were..." (Michelangelo)

For thousands of years, the human body has been depicted, drawn and sculpted, carved in marble and stone and cast in bronze. The attempt to capture it for a small eternity, but also to understand it. The depiction of the human being is one of the first documents of self-perception and self-assurance and also forms the beginnings of artistic expression. AKT dares to approach the naked body and the fragile soul within it. The film approaches people like sculptures and shows them in their splendor, sadness, longing, powerlessness and joy.
