Das Lachen
Das Lachen
1987, German. Directed by Peter Pohler & Alexander Reimann.
An ancient fairy tale tells that Athanga created the world with animals and humans. Since the creatures soon began to quarrel with each other, he decided that from then on, everyone would only live for a short time and then die. This brought much suffering upon the people, but the power of laughter remained with them.
