Christoph Büttner

Carla, who has no legs, is reduced by people around her to a curiosity rather than an artist. She lives for acrobatics, but works as an assistant in a variety show, invisible to the world of stage. When the theater begins to decline, the director offers her the chance to perform.

One evening, a prison director announces to a convict his execution for the next day. As though by a miracle, later at night the cell door opens. Exhausted by endless interrogations the convict drags on through dark prison corridors. On his odyssey to gain freedom he is tossed back and forth through various mental states: his fear of being discovered, his hope for salvation and moments of sheer madness.
