‘Enfant Terrible’ tells the story of a child of his time, the extremely talented and dynamic filmmaker, Rainer Werner Fassbinder. The director dreamed of making movies about the cold-hearted, archaic Federal German society, and longed for the respect and love of outsiders, including foreigners, underprivileged groups and small convicts. His sudden rise to being one of the most important directors in Europe correlated with his mental and physical fall, and his subsequent early death.
