During research about coats of arms I accidently came across the district of Emmelsum
in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Through Wikipedia I found out that Emmelsum
has around 300 inhabitants, has never been self-dependent and that there are no places
of interest. Even the district’s own website states that there is not much to say about
Emmelsum. The film is an attempt at a portrait of this village.

71-year-old Hakie leads “the life of a man” with great determination. Hakie’s daily routine in
the Albanian Alps is shaped by an archaic separation between the roles of men and women
and allows us to see how the category “gender” is very much a social construction. Is Hakie a
man or a woman? Hakie is a sworn virgin, a “Burrnesha”.

When you enter an existential crisis, all filters fall. Reality is shaded in low contrast, low key,
foggy. Every outside signal grinds mind and teeth and exaggerates to a feedback loop. Every
thought is a downward spiral. A well-known staircase for the experienced traveler in the selfdestructive regions of the mind.

Winter in a big city. Klara, a 30-year-old woman, arrives home with a random guy that she
has just met. Both are drunk, they are giggling, having fun. But there is someone else in the
apartment: 9-year-old Anton catches them having sex. The next morning, Anton is gone.
A woman is sitting in front of a camera telling a story about an experience she had. Even
though she is able to describe the happenings quite detailed, the story also seems to be
unlikely or implausible. It turns out not to be hers rather than a story from a MUSTANG
JEANS commercial.

Ass-to-mouth, but Chanel works, too. A global brain and nothing for chance... and degraded
objects of course. Implicitly sad and right... There is rumbling everywhere, and tension. It
seems they still exist, those things you can’t talk about. Sparklers would be good.

Award 2015 in the presence of the filmmakers.
