Hans
Hans Schabe is a man who lives a hallucinatory existence in which real life mixes with his fantasies and obsessions. The paranoia that has taken his soul hostage is the engine of the film. From childhood to death. The particularly delicate theme, the possibility of living and knowing everything from the inside of Hans touch and test the sensitivity of the viewer. No third person who narrates, no external eye that interprets. Only Hans and his visions in a state of hallucination.
