The film Prinz in Hölleland was made after the fall of the Berlin Wall as an alternative film project by some residents of Wagenburg Adalbertstrasse in the Berlin district of Kreuzberg , who also acted as actors. The film is characterized by skillful improvisation and the realistic depiction of the alternative subculture of Kreuzberg from the early 1990s, in which the plot is embedded.
According to the director, he and his roommates have more or less simply "filmed" their lives. As an off-mainstream film, it was only seen by a small audience when it was released, but has now met with greater interest as VHS and DVD.
action
The plot of the film is an interweaving of the narrative of the fool frippery, who with his puppet theater at Kottbusser Tor presents the fairy tale of the handsome prince and the brave miller's boy to an attentive audience, and the experiences of the three residents of a Kreuzberg wagon castle in the field of tension between drugs and sex experience , gay punk pub culture (“Café Anal”) and violence.
