Ernst Schmidt jr. // Memories of a nervous patient

It is a cinematic adaptation of the notes of Dr. Daniel Paul Schreber, the son of the famous educator Schreber, the inventor of the so-called "Schreber Gardens", a nervous patient and former director of the regional court in Chemnitz. (...) The individual chapters of his book - in a movie they would be called episodes - are self-contained, therefore stylistically different and therefore best interpreted by different artists. (Ernst Schmidt jr.)
