A DONKEY CALLED GERONIMO (DER ESEL HIESS GERONIMO)

«Eccentric and Funny!» «Full of whimsical characters!» «Imbued with a seductive sense of melancholy.» The cult documentary follows a group of German sailors who built their own utopia on an island in the Baltic Sea. They had it all: endless freedom and a donkey called Geronimo – until their community fell apart. Now stranded on the mainland, the outlandish gang tries to recover from their loss, drinking and telling each others stories of a perfect paradise. A beautifully odd and imaginative sailors’ tale, the film tells a story of human longing and explores the frontier between island myths and the harsh reality of modern life.
