Ulrich Stein

Two different positions and perspectives develop images and sounds based on the same things and texts. Montage of different places – "Outside the Ocean": North – South, Hamburg – Naples, GDR – Southern Italy, USA – Paestum. The aura of places. In the cockpit of the camera. Seeing the differentiation between things.

This essayistic documentary film shows the various cultural traditions of trance that blend together in Brazil in wild abundance: African rites, Native American ceremonies, Christian spiritualism.
