Synopsis
A fictional reconstruction of a 5-minute event that took place during the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. Produced on home-made emulsion and colourised with the help of technical publications from the early days of cinema and photographic experiments. The home-made emulsion is a fragile metaphor for the heroism of Konrad and his horse Kurfurst. By falling off his horse, he became a national hero, but caught up in history, an anti-hero.
