Synopsis
Nine short, individually titled reels of colour 16mm film, which are presented in a random order determined before each screening. Drawing on a text by German philosopher Gunther Anders, the film is an imaginary documentary about Molussia, a fictional totalitarian country that Anders invented to represent the dypstopia of fascism. –Edinburgh Film Festival

He is also a co-founder and member of the collective film workshop L‘Abominable. —Berlinale

the first part is like a stenogram from romania's recent past. we had our burru - communism and our ORs replaced by mandatory ANDs. yet, looking back, it looks so picaresque, so one-foot-here-one-foot-nowhere, with its strange lynchian dream sophistics, with its systematic randomness of horror, that it is easier to forget, than to remember.
