Synopsis
Even when someone does not travel, they can still tell stories. Bruch gathers filmed material, which he has commissioned, and brings it together again in a virtual travelogue: Bruchstücke. Bruch, increasingly less mobile due to his illness, travels around the world while standing still. The kilometers slowly add up to a trip 2.2 times around the globe. The route is traveled by friends whom he asked to bring back film material from their journeys. As formal guideline, he recommended holding the camera sideways; and no zooms or pans. The journey in one's own four walls remains a special type of memory work: a road movie controlled from home, a lovingly compiled travel document that humorously and laconically plays with the concept of mobility and, last but not least, with the gaze of the traveler, which remains multifaceted here, and absolutely not that of a tourist.
