The King of Spain

A young man seems to get lost between his parents‘ home in Lower Saxony, darkrooms in Berlin and a shared flat in Madrid. The clinical coldness of the psychiatric reports on his case is contrasted by a disturbing diary text that resists too quick a classification. The images also speak a different language to the dia- gnosis: “Disoriented and out of touch with his surroundings”, reads the initial anamnesis. But we see how film footage traces and replaces photographic evidence of getting lost, how it reconnects the narrator‘s self, who is striving for self-empowerment, with his environment.
The story of illness and treatment develops into an autosociobiographical document of self-positioning through artistic work - on experience.
