Der Maler Philip Guston – Ein amerikanisches Leben

The whole world in one film: Robert, a young Dane, is shanghaied in Marseille, and via Acapulco he is abducted into the South Pacific. There he kills his father and seduces his mother. Then he explores the changing world. The end finds him in a Polynesian village, where the chief bestows him with a girl of his age-class. A novel of adventure, a novel of love, also an oratory of some sort.

Agatha is an international lawyer, Jo a filmmaker. The two women are lovers. While Jo is on the road showing her films, Agatha discovers and reads her diaries. Problems ensue as Agatha's transgressions lead to jealousy and a spiraling cycle of sexual obsession.

New York restorer Christian Scheidemann is the "art whisperer". Anyone who is concerned about the durability of their sculpture made of eggshells or their painting made of elephant dung or chewing gum automatically ends up in his studio. Works of art by the most renowned artists await treatment there - today it's works by Warhol and Beuys, tomorrow by Paul McCarthy and Robert Gober. Like an empathetic doctor, Christian Scheidemann treats them in the event of accidents - he accompanies them from their creation to their total loss and is thus the central point of contact for artists, collectors and museums.
