Short, AT 2016, 7 min
„Fremd bin ich eingezogen, fremd zieh ich wieder aus.“ To the music of Gute Nacht from Franz Schubert’s Winterreise, a sock puppet wanders through snowy winter worlds.
Expressionist black-and-white images alternate between comedy and tragedy. The protagonist soon meets his self-imposed end, while Schubert’s lonely journey is just beginning.
