"Intimate and multi-faceted, the touching portrait of a great German diva."
Hildegard Knef: world star, style icon, grande dame of chanson, last German diva, opinionated, controversial, mirror and antithesis of her time. As an actress, singer and author, she celebrated international successes, experienced resounding defeats and was creatively active for more than five decades. She became part of the German public eye at the age of 20 and never left it again. Her favorite topic, being successful, failing, reinventing herself again and again and - against all odds - getting up again and again, makes her an expert on survival.
In the form of a cinematic autobiography, "I want it all" portrays a highly talented, ambitious, laconic and sharp-witted woman who showed the world how to survive fame and defeat.
