Director Eva Stotz visits people she has found in online host networks such as Couchsurfing.org and immerses herself in their lives for a limited period of time: her inspiring hosts are a music-loving Tuareg in Mali, a wildlife lover in Tokyo, an ecologist in the Palestinian West Bank, a dance enthusiast in Turkey and a visionary in the USA. The film discovers an exciting new way of traveling and tells of the longing for genuine encounters and an alternative to fear, isolation and mistrust in the modern world.
24-hour television documentary about Berlin and its inhabitants, reporting in real time on the everyday lives of more than 50 protagonists from a wide range of professions, social classes, religions and ethnicities.
There is Franz, suing the company that has made him redundant after 40 years. Then, for nine months, he holds out in an empty office with nothing to do. There is Stephan who, for eight days and nights, sits on a chair that is part of a giant billboard. Selling yourself is sometimes the quickest way to pay your debts. There is Saskia, the high school graduate, learning how to put together the perfect application. There is Gunnar who is being taught that perceiving your own body as trademark is the key to success. Franz finally wins his lawsuit only to realise he has lost all the same. DEVIL HIDES IN DOUBT is a film about the emotional push and pull of work, its demands and absurdities, and the struggle for fulfilment.
