Geschichten von Leidenschaft, Liebe und Hass, von Krieg und Emigration, von tragischen Verflechtungen persö nlicher und weltgeschichtlicher Ereignisse. Die Familie Mann zeigt sich, wie sie sich noch nie gezeigt hat. Alle treten sie auf: die Brüder Thomas und Heinrich mit ihrem lebenslangen Bruderzwist, das extrovertierte Geschwisterpaar Erika und Klaus, der stille Golo und auch das einzige heute noch lebende Kind Thomas Manns: Elisabeth.
