Literarisches Colloquium Berlin e.V.

Five young men ride their bicycles through the city, each of them having a piece of a huge movie advertisement attached to his bike.

Film adaptation of the short Büchner story of the same name, which tells of the stay of the psychotic Sturm und Drang poet Lenz in the home of the Alsatian priest and philanthropist Oberlin. The poet, whose pathological hallucinations are becoming increasingly unbearable, hopes for help from the gentle clergyman. But Oberlin, too, knows no advice; he regards his friend's illness as God-given.

In this essayistic piece, the only finalized installment of the television series "Fiction - Non Fiction", commissioned by Literarisches Colloquium Berlin (LCB), Günter Bruno Fuchs is - among other things - raising money for the demolition of the Siegessäule, while quoting Walter Benjamin's Berliner Kindheit um Neunzehnhundert.
