I'm Not Stiller

Albrecht Schuch plays the leading role of James Larkin White, an American who, on a train journey through Switzerland, is mistaken for Anatol Stiller, a sculptor who disappeared seven years earlier and is wanted for his involvement in a dubious political affair. "I am not Stiller", White declares at the beginning of Frisch's novel - and again and again from then on. In order to convict him, the public prosecutor played by Max Simonischek asks Stiller's wife Julika (Paula Beer) to identify her husband, but she is unable to do so conclusively. Memories reveal more and more about the couple's relationship - and it turns out that the prosecutor has a surprising connection to the missing man.
