The film describes a dispute between poetess [[Else Lasker-Schüler]] and her publishers. The film takes place in [[Berlin]] before, during and after [[World War I]] and deals with an author's rights, according to [[Karl Marx]]: "A writer is judged as productive, not on the amount of ideas he produces, but on the amount of money his publisher is able to profit from his works." <ref>Karl Marx: Theorien über den Mehrwert, Hrsg. Karl Kautsky, 1. Bd. Die Anfänge der Theorie vom Mehrwert bis Adam Smith. </ref> |

The film starts with the death of Renaissance composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina in 1594. Afterwards his son, Iginio, some of his students and colleagues, members of the [[Cappella Giulia]] (Julian Chapel) at [[St. Peter's Basilica]], and also members of the Roman clergy give their personal statements or testimony on Palestrinas life and career: from his childhood, when he is trained as a choir-boy in the circle of the "Roman School" of polyphony founded by [[Costanzo Festa]], to the peak of his career, when the plague and an influenza epidemic take away his two oldest sons and his wife. |

These testimonies reveal Palestrina as a typical Renaissance artist who takes his destiny into his own hands and maintains his artistic independence in the middle of the greedy Roman clergy, who are more interested in secular politics than in the spirituality of music.

Plot
“To achieve artistic and economic independence, Palestrina works with great diplomacy in the shadow of the powerful Roman Catholic Church. Despite strict ecclesiastical rules, he succeeds in modernizing music.” [1]
The film starts with the death of Renaissance composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina in 1594. Afterwards his son, Iginio, some of his students and colleagues, members of the Cappella Giulia (Julian Chapel) at St. Peter's Basilica, and also members of the Roman clergy give their personal statements or testimony on Palestrinas life and career: from his childhood, when he is trained as a choir-boy in the circle of the "Roman School" of polyphony founded by Costanzo Festa, to the peak of his career, when the plague and an influenza epidemic take away his two oldest sons and his wife.
These testimonies reveal Palestrina as a typical Renaissance artist who takes his destiny into his own hands and maintains his artistic independence in the middle of the greedy Roman clergy, who are more interested in secular politics than in the spirituality of music. This is how he his able to develop a new style in polyphonic art, the genus novus. A balance between word and sound, in which all voices are predominent and independet from each other. Palestrina is the one who finally liberates music from the word. In this style he composes the famous Missa Papae Marcelli, which, after the Council of Trent, becomes the model for sacred music.
Palestrina’s music is presented in the film by the Roman ‘Ensemble Seicentonovecento’, conducted by maestro Flavio Colusso.
After having lost his two sons and his wife, the testimonies reveal with a winking of their eyes, that Palestrina instead of becoming a member of the clery, decided to marry a very rich widow. Finally he would have enough money to publish all his scores. In this way his work would never be forgotten.
