Mein Traum oder Die Einsamkeit ist nie allein

Summary

My Dream or Loneliness Never Walks Alone

My Dream or Loneliness Never Walks Alone is a phantasmagoric excursion into the depths of the soul. It is a revue-like confrontation with the forces of the conscious and subconscious. A man flees from the constant reoccurances of his life; from the expectations, from the responsibility forced upon him by a ′normal life′. On a disused industrial estate he meets Godot, a woman who collects rubbish, lives in an old caravan and spends her time on a ′paradise island′ – a rubber boat with inflatable palm tree – drifting along the city′s sewers, searching for signs of human existence. Together with Godot, the man tries to get to the bottom of human existence and that between the sexes, looking for himself and the goal to his planless flight. In memories, the man reviews his own life. In his visions he meets the main characters of his life: the wife whom he has left, his girlfriend, his mother, his father, his grandfather, and a friend. His confused thoughts offer the material for a media spectacle that excludes not a single genre of the contemporary media landscape, with intellectual discourses and fantastic images, crazy and grotesque scenes that twist fairytales and satirize the political past. In impressively real and amazingly surreal images full of comedy, the man zaps through his thoughts like through a television program.
