Synopsis

An irreverent, funny and at times bizarre look at German history. When Johann Sebastian Bach crashes his Volkswagen Beetle into the Berlin Wall, he gets knocked into a coma. His high-speed ambulance ride to hospital is paralleled by the high-speed train of thought unleashed in his head. Strange and unpredictable character juxtapositions result in some startling and occasionally disturbing imagery. Building one upon each other, these sequences add up to a surreal roller-coaster ride with its own twisted (but ultimately inevitable) internal logic.
