Dustin Leitol

A serial killer strikes fear in the hearts of residents of Hamburg during the early 1970s.

Leon is in his mid-twenties and terminally ill. He invents a technology that allows him to computerize his mind and live forever. This technology will be the downfall of mankind, so freedom fighter Aqua travels back from the future to kill him. The two fall in love and turbulent events follow.

A hybrid work of nocturnal forays through Hamburg in documentary-animated live action. Alongside feminist social criticism, autobiographical references remain never fully deciphered. Alongside the gloomy Wanda Wandalis and Krossen Kerlen, "Didi" enriches the director's dark excursions and artistic positions in a fascinating way with his presence as an eccentric character. This love, embodied by Dietrich Kuhlbrodt (known for his subversive roles in Christoph Schlingensief's films), brings unmistakable charm and humor to the collaboration with Pachet Fulmen. "I'm not interested in pigeonholing," says Fulmen. Her art is a rebellion against convention — uncompromising, uncomfortable, unforgettable.

Something's happening in the deep sea, baby!
