Mux spent many years in a coma in a clinic with a constant stream of television. But at least he survived a serious car accident! Now he has woken up, and he has a plan: during his time in hospital, he came up with the idea of a fairer society. From now on, Mux sees it as his task to save the world from neoliberalism and goes to France, the motherland of revolutions, with his long-term nurse Karsten and a self-written manifesto.
Acting
Stahlberg plays delusional idealism with terrifying commitment.
Writing
Manifesto-as-dialogue that's somehow both cringe and profound.
Director
Jan Henrik Stahlberg
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film quietly asks whether decades of media consumption can replace lived experience—Mux's 'revolution' is entirely secondhand, sourced from TV he half-remembered through a coma.
Director Stahlberg is also Mux, suggesting this may be the most expensive self-own in recent German cinema—a filmmaker interrogating his own earnest political impulses.
