An experimental short fiction film about Kemal Altun, a Turkish asylum seeker who threw himself out of the window of a West Berlin courtroom in 1983 at the age of 23 out of fear of being deported. Altun's situation is related to that of the writer Georg Büchner. Büchner died of typhus in 1837, during his lonely Zurich exile, where he was on the run from the Hessian authorities. What did Büchner think at the end of his long persecution? What did Altun feel on the eve of his suicide, his ultimate freedom?
