Madness, All of Life Is Madness

1979 • Directed by

Petra Haffter

Drama

A 16-year-old schoolgirl writes in her diary about her dreams and longings, especially about her relationship with a man. She uses this feeling, more unconsciously, as an opportunity to daydream and escape from very concrete problems such as job hunting and role conflicts. The film fully engages with the feelings and thoughts of its main protagonist and reproduces her dreams of an ideal world with correspondingly kitschy images.
