THE UNCERTAINTY OF ABRAHAM
The young student of music composition Alexej (27) is taking on a new job working for the once famous composer Serguei Tovalski (74), who sends him out into the city to collect sounds. The walk through the old and new Berlin lead Alexej to an unexpected encounter with his environment, which he had long gone consciously perceived. When he begins to realize what the work of Tovalski actually means, he makes a painful experience that is questioning himself and his previous goals. The Uncertainty of Abraham explores in a dream-like aesthetic the relationship between art and reality and provides even further the question wether you are the inventor and creator of the world or just its tool. A flm that invites us to perceive the world with Alexej and to listen to the sounds that surround us.
