Synopsis

This film is not a classic portrait, but a documentary that not only brings Martin Suter's novels to life through fiction, but also brings us closer to the authors behind the stories on a whole new level. "Fantasy is usually more accurate than reality," says Martin Suter.

He walks through his stories, staged in a cinematic and aesthetically impressive way, illuminating his protagonists and their secrets - and in particular his own private cosmos: a world steeped in contrasts and shaped by an addiction to stories.

"Writing has a lot to do with omitting," says the Swiss bestselling author. This film shows us everything about Martin Suter - everything but the truth.
