A Journey Around My Skull

The film is a story of a double journey. The main character of the first journey is the author himself, who, while sitting in his customary café, suddenly realises that he has hallucinations. The psychologist reassures him that all this is merely repression. The symptoms, however, appear again. Soon it turns out that the author has a brain tumour. Professor Pötzl in Vienna suggests operation right away. The intervention, through which he is awake, is carried out in a Stockholm clinic. The operation is successful, he has some more time from life. The second journey is in the mind. The film of the mind of the author is rolling. Abundant fantasies about the Circus, medieval tortures, flight, his own funeral. Dreams, desires and real experiences mingle in the film. (official distributor synopsis)
