Gottlieb / Готлиб

Krste Gospodinovski (Uzengija)
2019, North Macedonia, 10'

Izgubljen v labirintu svoje podzavesti, se Gottlieb le stežka vrača v realnost. Ko poskuša dekonstruirati svoj izmišljeni svet, ogroža lastno življenje. Šele ko na koncu njegovi realnosti trčita, se zave, da je vklenil sam sebe.

Lost in the labyrinth of his subconsciousness, Gottlieb struggles to find his way back to reality. Provoking deconstruction of his make-believe world, he puts his life at risk. At the end, as his realities collide, he becomes aware of his self-imprisonment.
