Synopsis of “The Young Prince” Fifth film from the film cycle “The Book of Praise”
125 minutes, 16 mm. film, 2007
“A beggar imagines himself sitting at the edge of a maelstrom, looking inward at a vortex, observing beings-demonic forms, ghosts, animals-first rising and then falling through the vortex: all of them, he realizes have the character they do because of his mental state.”* The film is about transformation and is more abstract than linear narrative. * quote from Bruce Elder
