DirectorElfi Mikesch

1997
89 min
Documentary

Torsten Ricardo Engelholz, 31 years old, was locked in a dark room by his parents for most of his childhood and then placed in a psychiatric ward. Torsten Ricardo loves riding the subway and spends every free minute doing so. In addition to this passion, he is a talented painter and actor in the professional theater group Thikwa in Berlin. He is very interested in German history. This film explores the universe of a very special person in a sensual way and deals with fundamental questions of life: Torsten Ricardo holds up a mirror to us. "The others are disabled, knowledge-disabled, because they don't recognize what abilities you have," says Torsten Ricardo Engelholz in his poetic, clear-sighted language. This includes the abysses of his own existence as well as his great desires.
