A young man apparently gets lost between his parental home in Lower Saxony, Berlin darkrooms and a flat share in Madrid. The clinical chill of the psychiatry reports is juxtaposed with a heart-wrenching diary text that resists being categorised too quickly. The images, too, speak a different language than the diagnosis: “Disoriented and not responding to his environment,” the initial anamnesis reads. But we see the film sequences trace and re-cast photographic evidence of getting lost, re-connect the narrator persona striving for self-empowerment with his environment. The protocol of a story of illness and treatment expands into an auto-socio-biographical document of self-location by artistic work – on life as lived.
At the end of the nineteenth century in many countries the land was subjugated to the landed estates of the patriciate. The laborers lived in poverty on the edge of survival. Despite the first attempts by some citizen movements of intellectuals and politicians to create a class consciousness among the peasants that could assert their rights against the barony, the feudal violence of the lords of the land prevented any social demands. Brigandage was born from this environment of hunger and oppression, an expression of struggle and revenge against the masters. If the discontent of the laborers had combined with the anger of the brigands, the revolt could have spread like fire in a barn. But often the victim who manages to gain power then embodies it again as the enemy he had overthrown shortly before. And, in the jungle where the strongest wins until he meets someone stronger than him, the people always lose out in the end.
