Description:
“Du bei mir - Teil I” (You by Me - Part I) is the third film of a trilogy on faith, describing the diverse
aspects of the intimate and trusting relationship a person may develop with a spiritual entity.
This film explores self-mortification, it shows a man doing a prostration, a downthrow during a
stormy winter night. The man is not walking upright, he crawls on arms and legs. Every few meters
he lays down for a few seconds with his entire body on the wet and cold ground. Then he lifts
himself up again and keeps on crawling. The film wants to show a contrast between the storm
(the outside) and the determinate and constant rhythm of the man (the inside).
