synopsis
Mental problems, alcoholism and deliberate exclusion from society define a young artist's world until the life-changing date marked by the numbers in the film's title. The moment of his return to life is captured in an introspective portrait that seeks to capture that hard-to-grasp fragility of teetering on the edge of non-existence.“Martin studied painting at art school. But he didn’t finish his studies because of his alcohol problem. He spent the next five years on the streets and in squats.”
