Private Project

Die Schriftstellerin

Writer Lara Seesand hardly knows any writer's blockades. She has plenty of ideas. They just have to be designed, formulated and written down. But in a devilish way she is constantly distracted and prevented from writing. Annoyed, she finally goes on the offensive by photographing what bothers her and who disturbs her. The creative liberation seems to succeed. But although she now thinks she can deal better with the distractions, the coordinates have shifted: The events take on more and more surrealistic forms.

Note: There exists also a documentary about the shooting of the film: "Behind the pages" and a published diary book (in german).
