Synopsis in German
Thomas Brasch und Jurek Becker erzählen die Geschichte des erfolgreichen amerikanischen Regisseurs Cornfield, der 1987 in Deutschland einen Dokumentarfilm über ein Nazi-Filmprojekt drehen will. Schon sehr bald wird klar, dass Cornfield in Wahrheit kein dokumentarisches Ziel verfolgt, sondern vielmehr mit Hilfe der Dreharbeiten hofft, sein persönliches Holocaust-Trauma zu überwinden: Der ungarische Jude und KZ-Häftling Cornfield hat während des Zweiten Weltkrieges in einem Nazi-Propagandafilm mitgespielt, in dessen Folge ein KZ-Mithäftling umkam. Kunstvoll, fast mystisch und eher reduziert skizziert Thomas Brasch in der Figur Cornfields das Psychogramm einer zerrissenen Persönlichkeit auf der Suche nach der Wahrheit.
