THE WINDOWS
"Everything imaginable is truth."
Gustav Flaubert
The first Daniel Strehlau`s fiction short based on his own screenplay and his storyboard from 1993.
The story of a young writer sitting in front of a typewriter, shown struggling for a story and staring out of the windows in front of him. The windows show persons in various emotional states, all interrelated by their situations, thoughts, and feelings. We can see love, solitude, tragedy and death. At the end of the film, the viewer finds out that what they have just seen is the story of the man's creation; fiction created by the main character. Daniel Strehlau did play the first role too.
