Synopsis

Wim Wenders’ early films, including *Alice in the Cities*, *Wrong Move*, and *Kings of the Road*, are now considered pivotal works of European cinema, establishing him as a key figure in the German New Wave. *One Who Set Forth: Wim Wenders' Early Years* by Marcel Wehn examines the origins of these films. Using personal memories and rare home movies, the documentary chronicles Wenders’ formative years: his initial explorations with filmmaking, his decision to pursue art and cinema over a medical career, and his rise to international acclaim with the Road Trilogy. These early works explored recurring themes that define his entire body of work: national identity, the significance of human connection, and the fascination with journeys. Featuring insights from Wenders himself and those who shaped his vision, *One Who Set Forth* offers a captivating portrait of his life and artistic development.
