The Illusion of Despair
Wilmot seeks a higher truth and an end to despair.
From the archive
"Die Illusion der Verzweiflung," or The Illusion of Despair, explores existential concepts through homage to classic german cinema and literary archetypes. The Faustian character, Wilmot, desires a higher truth; his life is books, yet they are not compassionate. His need attracts Amara, who may have the power to help him, though at what cost? German language with English subtitles.
