God plays Sax, the Devil Violin ( Dumnezeu la saxofon, Dracu la vioara )
Alexandra Gulea
2004 - Allemagne - Couleur - 45'

Sketch of life within a Romanian psychiatric institution, where the patients have formed a kind of closed society. The three hundreds inhabitants, some living twelve to a room, become friends, they get married and split up again. Coffee and cigarettes are the official currency. The mutual barter trade and helpfulness is only interrupted for medication, sleep and food. The film, shot in a cinema-vérité style, forms an impressive witness to man's urge to survive.
