Spiegl

Spiegl tells a universal story of fleeing through an organic mix of road movie opera and reenacted memories Yitschak Spiegl was the foster daughter of a Czech mother and was living as a woman when in 1988 he fled Communist Czechoslovakia Fragments of his personal history emerge as he visits places in Austria with filmmaker Vita Soul Wilmering where he spent time as a refugee Chance meetings with people on the street unintentionally form a recurring thread that links up themes of exclusion and pigeonholing which shape the painful undertone of Spiegls life story
