Overview

Western for the SDS portrays the development of the left as a learning process among women who sharpen their awareness in the movement but continue to have no say. The controversy surrounding the film is shown in the DFFB weekly newsreel Requiem for a Company. The Western was confiscated by the administration, and eighteen students who sided with Straschek were expelled from the academy. The film was considered lost until its rediscovery in 2018.
