“Let’s make a documentary together,” says Chrigu. “Then I will get out at some point.” This is the story of a young man who once
had great plans for the future, until an
advanced-stage tumour was discovered at
the age of 21. Jan Gassmann follows Christian Ziörjen’s (Chrigu) fight to live, in a film less
about death, but about living life. Christian
himself had been making his own films since
the age of 16: at parties, concerts, on a trip
to India, his camera was always with him. With “Chrigu”, filmmaker Jan Gassmann succeeds
in creating a moving and surprising portrait of his best friend.
