In the audience Susan Sontag, Cynthia Ozick and Betty Friedan. The intellectual elite of New York. 50 years later in Berlin Saralisa Volm and RP Kahl fight against and with each other as Germaine Greer and Norman Mailer in a reenactment for the theatre stage and continue the discussion outside of their stage roles together with Luise Helm, Heike Melba-Fendel and Celine Yildirim.
