We are put in a world where television has complete power. "Flaming Arrow", the hero of the film, is the only one among the masses of TV dependent people who still knows genuine feelings. We feel with him. He takes up the fight against the power of the media. He meets with the same problems as we do: to recognize what is reality and what is film.
While stressing out over her final exams, Antonia the Cow meets the night watchman, Kurt the Lion. They fall in love, but their relationship is met with great skepticism by the world around them. Antonia‘s farm animal roommates have little time for these predatory posers from the wild, while Kurt‘s pride still view themselves as the kings of the jungle and can‘t understand why he‘d choose a cow as a partner. When a sheep goes missing, suspicion falls on the carnivorous Kurt...
We swoop through action-filled rooms. Again and again, we fly past people and events without ever recognizing what is really going on. This film is a three-minute version of an endless-loop video originally designed as a project for exhibitions. It was shown at the Kunststiftung Baden-Württemberg, the Künstlerhaus in Stuttgart and the Goethe Institut in Paris.
