What Is End of the Commune? About?

The premise of End of the Commune? without spoilers.

A 49‑minute documentary filmed in 1969 captures Rainer Fassbinder’s early work with the Antiteater, showing rehearsals for his play “The Coffehouse” (later a TV movie) and featuring actors who would appear in his later films.
