So schön wie hier kanns im Himmel gar nicht sein

I had to learn to lie on the sofa and do nothing but think thoughts. How to live on when one is thrown out of the path of life from one moment to the next, when death suddenly approaches? With his diary of cancer Christoph Schlingensief lets us participate in his urgent search for himself, for God, for the love of life. In January 2008, the well-known film, theatre and opera director, action and installation artist Christoph Schlingensief was diagnosed with lung cancer. A lung is removed, chemotherapy and radiation follow, the prognosis is uncertain - a nightmare of deprivation of liberty from which there seems to be no awakening. But just a few days after the diagnosis, Christoph Schlingensief begins to talk to himself, to friends, to his dead father, to God - almost immeasurably.
