A filmstrip with three stills. The first one is a shot from above. We seen a young woman's thighs in a short skirt. She's kneeling down in the sand. Someone's hand hovers above one of her knees. The both wear matching leather jackets. Still two and three are merely identical; a young blond woman looking sideways. Behing her tall dune grass. Image source

Reporter Will Roczinski (Walter Kohut) picks up mysterieus signals through the ether (via). DP: Charly Steinberger.
We watch the final report by Will Roczinski, who sadly died in a car crash while working on a TV documentary about UFOs and the like. A fascinating early “faux footage” film from the BRD. One can only wonder how the average West German processed the fantastic premise.
“I had imagined this journey as a quest. I finished my studies in math. I wanted to live. I wanted to burn all the bridges, all the formulas, and if I got burned, that was okay, too. I wanted to be warm. I wanted the sun and I went after it.”
