His curiosity awakened by troubled letters from a friend working at Bánffy Castle, a psychiatric clinic in rural Rumania, director Tobias Müller sets out to discover life at Bánffy Castle for himself, hoping to find at least some happiness, smiling faces, minor triumphs and, most of all, people who are able to value life's little pleasures. He meets the inhabitants of Bánffy Castle, its "princes" and "princesses". Enneke, the young woman with a sparkle in her eye, Günther, a broken legged footballer with theories about populated planets, and lovely Rosi, with her red hat and dislike of pills. He discovers lives that, in some ways, mirror his own. Everyday routine punctuated by petty squabbles, laughter, illness, friendship, loss, even the occasional party. But the effects of poverty and mental illness on the patients are devastating and as the film unravels nothing can explain the perpetual cycle of misery, madness and death. 4c Written by Hanneke M. van der Tas
