Paul films his sister Vera. In the bathroom, when she’s going out. His camera becomes an instrument of control that soon gets away from him. In his early short fiction film, Christoph Hochhäusler explores the potential of digital cameras between home movie and voyeurism. And poses questions that will be decisive for his future work: How to use the camera to create relationships between people? And what fate awaits those who are forever afflicted by an incurable film fever?
