A short film by one of Germany's most respected experimental film artists, Michael Brynntrup, featuring one of Germany's unique talents, Udo Kier (MANDERLAY) and filmmaker Mara Mattuschka. "Supported by the eccentric appearance of the 'enfant terrible' Udo Kier, director Michael Brynntrup treads a line between avant-garde and trash - tantamount to breaking free of both. Brynntrup has a distinct sense of humor, black humor, of course." (Catalog Gay Film Festival Freiburg, 1994) To ponder death is to ponder freedom. For a man who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave." (Michel de Montaigne, from the essay ‘Philosophizing Means Learning To Die’)
