ASTRID LINDGREN - DIE MENSCHHEIT HAT DEN VERSTAND VERLOREN tells the story with
documentary and scenic images from the perspective of Astrid Lindgren and her daughter Karin, her granddaughter Annika and her great-grandson Johan, based on the war diaries, tells the true story behind the success of the world-famous author.

Astrid Lindgren, who became famous above all for her children's books such as "Pippi Longstocking", "Michel from Lönneberga" and "Ronja the Robber's Daughter", shaped generations of readers with her works. Astrid Lindgren - Die Menschheit hat den Verstand verloren approaches the author in a new way, devoting itself to her diaries, which were written between 1939-1945, and tells of the still unknown Astrid Lindgren as a chronicler of the Second World War. First published in 2015 and translated into more than 20 languages, Astrid Lindgren's war diaries lay hidden in her bedroom linen cupboard for 70 years. They are a unique documentation of the horrors of dictatorship and terror from the perspective of a mother and early feminist and make a passionate appeal for humanity, peace and equality.
