Heinrich Breloer has shaped our image of Thomas Mann like no other with his TV multi-part film "The Manns". Marcel Reich-Ranicki described the films as a "masterpiece" and the "pinnacle of German cinematic art". In "Ein tadelloses Glück", Breloer now tells the eventful story of Thomas Mann's rise, his love for men, his courtship of Katia Pringsheim and the German-Jewish alliance between their families in the decisive years before the start of the First World War. With his uniquely scenic narrative style, Heinrich Breloer shows Katia and Thomas in their struggle for art, love and survival as vividly and directly as never before. Millions of people have enthusiastically watched "Die Manns" - now Heinrich Breloer is writing the gripping prelude to this story with "Ein tadelloses Glück".
