Under the artistic direction of director Andreas Dresen, 20 renowned documentary filmmakers, experienced television writers, and teams tell stories about the country and its people. The teams filmed at 20 different locations between June and August 2010 under the same production conditions: four days of filming, one week of editing.

We are in a room where people tell each other experiences that are not actually told to each other. These are experiences that they have had themselves and experiences of people who are very close to them. It's about fear and violence. It's about families that are destroyed. It is about existence.

In psychosis seminars, despair, exuberance, fear, suffering and excessive demands, but also courage and the power to cope, have their say. Psychosis seminars promote security and confidence to face the distress caused by psychosis without fear. Psychosis seminars are not a science, nor are they a form of psychotherapy, but they do impart knowledge and experience. Psychosis seminars explore the scope for contradictory truths and create sensitivity for the inner realities of the seminar participants. People experiencing psychosis, families and professionals are confronted with themselves, their helplessness and their strengths, psychiatric professionals in particular with the kindness of their help lines. Relatives and professionals are only familiar with psychosis from the perspective of others and are able to deal with the self-perspective of people with psychosis.
