Der Fluss war einst ein Mensch

A German tourist goes with a fisherman to the Okavango Delta in Botswana. The next morning the fisherman is dead and the tourist is at the mercy of an unknown culture. With a corpse in the canoe he has to find his way back to civilization. The countless tributaries become a labyrinth for the tourist. Here he is a stranger, an intruder. "In my experiences of both nature and the people living there, I reached the limits of my thinking and perception. These encounters were subjected to laws of kind different from what I have ever experienced anywhere else in the world." (Director Jan Zabeil)
