Com­fort Zone

‘Comfort Zone‘ is the spiritual journey of a young man called Tao who has been driven in an existential crisis. The Christian doctrine of salvation seems to him as worthless as the images provided by media. At the Tempelhof Airport, in the Spreewald and the holiday paradise ‘Tropical Islands‘ the question of the irrevocable rootage of human life is put forward in an always new and different way. Every character Tao meets on his way has got his own conception of the world. But not only for him it is impossible to bring these contradictions into accordance with each other. Step by step the logical seems to get nullified; it turns into the absurd and resigns in the spectacle. Who is looking for a story here has to find or invent it himself.
