Film Notes
Dorothea lives a solitary life with her beloved dog Toto in Sasnak. Turned by the world of the Americans children’s television, which floods into her room every day, she attempts to escape into this land beyond the rainbow with the help of a little cellular phone. She manages to create a virtual telebody with whom she can communicate, but disappears soon into the world of American TV, using the argument, “There is no place like home”. The film alludes to The Wizard of Oz (1939), applying fragments of speech from the original version and from the synchronised voice in the German version.
