Hooked on Illusions

A lonely old man fishes his dreams out of the moon's reflection. Looking inside them, he faces surreal and devastating nightmares until a spiritual discovery sets him free. "The film "Hooked on Illusions" deals with human suffering and the identification with one's own pain. In this film, I process the grief over the death of my father and the feelings about human nothingness. The fisherman is able to transform his situation by changing his own perspective and thus finding peace." - Director Laura Isabel Schneider on her wonderfully richly associative animated Bachelor film
