Nana und der Geist

Haunted Mind

The film is the portrait of a young woman living with epilepsy. While embracing life and its adventures, she is constantly confronted with the fear of having a seizure. Being conscious about the loss of consciousness. Constantly sensing the fear of losing her senses. Controlling the uncontrollable. Like a ghost haunting a house, epilepsy seems to haunt the mind and brain. While living in a society that demands efficiency, constant physical fitness and seems coined by a very mechanical perception of life, Nana struggles to find her path in life.
