Mark’s invisible Hand

Mark ist überzeugt: Wer die Muster des Marktes erkennt, wird reich – oder erleuchtet. Als einsamer Guru der Chartanalyse versucht er, Ordnung im Chaos der Börsenkurse zu finden. Doch sein Glaube bekommt eine neue Dimension, als ihm eines Nachts die „unsichtbare Hand“ erscheint. Sie greift in sein Leben ein: kontrolliert seinen Alltag, seine Emotionen, seinen Körper. Aus ökonomischer Logik wird spirituelle Abhängigkeit. Marks unsichtbare Hand ist eine satirisch-surreale Parabel über den religiösen Eifer, mit dem neoliberale Heilsversprechen verinnerlicht werden und über die Gewalt, die in scheinbar unsichtbaren Kräften steckt.

We follow a person presenting their profit-maximizing strategy to a powerful-looking man – high above the city. A contract is signed, a promise made. Together, they celebrate the success. Then: a blackout. Under the table, they see what had remained hidden until now. The flight leads into the depths of the city – yet no way out can be found. Or can it?
