“How I wished I could just be like everyone else.” Children and young people growing up with mentally ill parents take a look at their young lives together and try to use the power of creativity to find a way through an upside-down world. In a child-friendly mixture of documentary and animated film, we immerse ourselves in an often frightening but also encouraging world of thought that opens up a different view of our society and how we deal with mental illness.

ANGST is an adult animated film that uses the artistic imagery of the Weimar Republic to take us to Berlin in the early 1930s, where a young working-class woman is drawn into the shady business of a decadent illusionist. While – In the stranglehold of fear – a whole society sinks into chaos.
