A storm shipwrecks a prince on a small island, where he meets a dog who claims to be a prince too, bewitched by a jinn to live in a dogs body. In order to free the dog the prince fights the jinn, but loses his mind over the undermining questions of the demon. If the dog is a prince, is the prince then a dog? What is identity? How will you know who you are?
This is the first film of actor and author Matthias Bundschuh, based on a story by Franz Werfel. Bundschuh interprets the text in a poetic way and develops with his marionettes a unique form of expression.
