Everything you Never Wanted to Know About Magic
synopsis
satirical comedy
A satirical comedy about the absurdity of the world we are living in.
Christiane Raetsch (Mira Gittner) and Sandra Wolf (Marina Anna Eich) write a book
about the “world of magic”. At an esoteric summer workshop, they meet three other women and decide to work together on the project, with each woman delving into a
special area: shamanism, witchcraft, ritual magic, sexual magic, geomancy. They all
try to influence reality through magical rituals and to handle their lives with esoteric practices. Christiane, the shaman, tries to find answers with psycho active drugs in the mist of other dimensions. Sandra, the witch, is searching for the man of her life, but the tarot cards always say “no” to the men she meets.
Christiane: . “I want to know what keeps the world Together. I am looking for answers university can’t give me.”
Sandra: “That’s why I practice witchcraft. If this here is everything , then it is not worth dreaming nor hoping.”
A crazy comedy which spares no aspect of the “magical sciences”. A mean side blow to all hobby esoterics, who go to a workshop on the weekend and explain the world on the next day.
But Magic always goes its own ways. For all of us. And that is the real Magic of Life.
I don’t believe in you and keep on searching you.
I know for sure you don’t exist but still you are inside me.
How can I ever find you, if you do not exist?
But the search keeps me alive and I will search as long as I live for
You …
My God.

press note
press note
The young generation has forgotten the basics of life, they got lost in the fun and entertainment jungle of the so called developed civilisation. They lost their roots and their way and are following on the now fashionable obsession with spiritualism and magic. They read a book and pretend to teach it tomorrow, without a single sense of its meaning. They are not interested in answers, they even have no questions. They just practice spiritualism because it is ‘in’. They practice everything with a certain amount of seriousness, but the deeper sense remains hidden to them”
