WITTGENSTEIN: ¡El GENIO que REGALÓ su fortuna, se fue a enseñar a NIÑOS y acabó como un MONSTRUO!

His father was the richest man in Austria. A fortune comparable to that of the Rockefellers. In their Vienna home, Brahms and Mahler were played as if the living room were a private concert hall. And one day, at the age of twenty-four, Ludwig Wittgenstein gave it all away. He didn't donate it to institutions. He distributed it anonymously among poets who couldn't afford bread. And he went to live in a village of two hundred people in the Austrian Alps, without electricity, to teach peasant children. But in that same village, in a cold Alpine schoolhouse, this philosopher who had built an entire theory on the importance of honesty, struck an eleven-year-old boy so hard on the head that the child fell unconscious. And when the authorities investigated him... he denied everything. Under oath. Who was Ludwig Wittgenstein, really? This documentary follows the complete life of Ludwig Wittgenstein: his childhood in Vienna's most opulent palace, where three of his four brothers committed suicide; his unannounced arrival at Bertrand Russell's Cambridge office at the age of twenty-one, where Russell would write that he was "perhaps the most perfect example of genius I have ever known"; his renunciation of the largest fortune in Austria; his years in the trenches of the First World War writing the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus—one of the most important philosophical books of the century—while men froze to death around him; his six years as a schoolteacher in the Austrian Alps, where he oscillated between pedagogical genius and physical violence; the Otterthal incident in 1926 that destroyed him; and the construction of the Haus Wittgenstein for his sister—a work of architecture of absolute mathematical precision, where he halted construction for weeks because the ceiling of one room was three centimeters too low. The return to Cambridge to demolish the Tractatus from within, the culmination of twenty years of work. And the last words he uttered before dying: "Tell them I've had a wonderful life." The documentary runs for 37 minutes and covers Wittgenstein's entire life, from Vienna in 1889 to Cambridge in 1951. Wittgenstein: the man who sought the precise way to say everything and was incapable of living alongside any human being without causing them harm.
