Every year thirty young artists, musicians, architects, writers, graphic artists and theater directors from all over the world move to Schloss Solitude close to Stuttgart. Among 1000 applicants they were selected for a fellowship at the artists re siden cy Akademie Schloss Solitude there. For the fellows, the high-altitude, near a forest situated outlying building offers a retreat to follow up their projects, without to worry about their daily manage. For one year the movie accompanies four of these fellows and observes, how creativity and artistic work intensifies at this special place: The New York sculptress Lan constructs a larger-than-life sized sculpture, which deals with class differences. The french novelist Martin processes the tragical death of his father in a new novel. Hamed, a theater director from Iran, stages his wife and actress Elisa in an intensive and unusual solo play. And the German graphic artist Demian considers the whole city of Stuttgart as an exhibition room for unusual art. At the end of the year, they are forced again to confront themselves with the every day fight as an artist as well as with the tough requirements of the art scene.
