ALBERT'S LOSS

Urs Zürcher

What happens when life is reset like an electronic system?

Urs Zürcher's cinematographic novel Alberts Verlust is a sad and bizarre psychodrama set in a remote auberge in the moody landscape of autumnal Swiss Jura.



A country road in the fog. A car crashes. A man wakes up in ICU with no memory of who he is or where he belongs. His life is a dull blank - and an increasingly contested waste land. A woman who pretends to be his wife, a psychologist who craves recognition both squeeze into the book of memories. It is a photograph that finally triggers an unexpected turn of events.
