A chemist develops a sudden phobia of picking up a knife. He has also recently been suffering from terrible nightmares. Could it have been triggered by a knife murder in the neighbourhood? Or maybe because he accidently cut his wife with a knife. Or perhaps it is the impending visit of his wife’s virile cousin, given that his own marriage has remained childless. It seems a psychiatrist might provide help.<br /> The emotionally disturbed man complains of “nebulous images” at night. And in fact, it was the brilliant constructs of cinematographer and special effects maestro Guido Seeber that turned the avant-garde montages of this psycho-thriller into the first surrealistic narrative film in German. This world premiere of the digitally restored 4K version of <em class="film">Secrets of a Soul</em> is being accompanied by a composition by South Korean Yongbom Lee, produced by 2eleven music. The ensemble Broken Frames Syndicate includes solo viola, flutes, clarinets, cello and percussion. Like the film, the music feeds on two sources: in addition to the acoustic instrumental performance, the neural activity of the violist will produce electronic sounds and light in real time.
