LIFE – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Documentary by JÖRG ADOLPH & RALF BÜCHELER, 90 Min., Germany 2016
Life, from birth to death, as an elementary bricolage - composed of tests, exercises, therapies and role-plays.
LIFE – INSTRUCTION MANUAL is a cinematic puzzle representing the contemporary lifelong learning program, starting with birth simulation in midwife training to the coffin building seminar "The Difficult Box". The idea of professional coaching in all areas of life is ever growing as the advising mentality permeates all stages of life. We are surrounded by good advice, by fitness testing and courses for essential life skills. The film captures this tireless work on the self and thereby observes the effects of human self-development.
“Hedonism is so over. Everyone’s into keep fit nowadays.“
