Realisation: Othmar Schmiderer

Homage to the artist from Saalfelden, Gerald Schmid, who lived in total seclusion. It took Othmar Schmiderer a great deal of persuasion to get him out of his self-imposed hermitage to make this film. The result is a portrait of the necessity and joy of his work, untainted by -arts and -isms.
