Antony from France, applied to me for a filmed German lesson.

His task during the lesson, was to learn an extract from Friedrich Nietzsche's “The Magician” from “Also Sprach Zarathustra”.

Before the session started, I just informed him that it would be a German lesson involving cane punishment. The rest of his experience was completely spontaneous.

No scenes were discussed in advance. No scenes have been re-shot, no scenes taken out of context.

The film shows the happening in correct chronological order.

The session went on for about 3 hours. I made a 34 minutes film out of it, shot with a handheld moving camera that follows the action.

See how Antony became the first ZÖGLING of my series.
