Der Mann, der nicht da war

Synopsis

Herr Kremers Leben wirkt äußerlich eng und trist – er ist arbeitslos und lebt in einer winzigen Wohnung Mitten in der Stadt. Doch in seinem Inneren betritt er das Portal zu einer anderen Welt. Es beginnt eine Reise, die er immer weniger von der äußeren Welt trennen kann. Eine inneren Stimme leitet ihn und lässt ihn Zahlen vorhersagen, was oft zu skurrilen Situationen führt. Der atmosphärischen Film lässt den Zuschauer, sowohl an der schwebenden Wahrnehmung des Protagonisten, als auch an der Entdeckung seiner inneren Dimension teilhaben.
