The story of a camera from 1987: a dysfunctional relationship and the fresh start that ensued. On the videotape: minutiae, anti-Waldheim protests, student demonstrations... Like notes in a bottle, the camera has preserved these recordings over time – and with them the past life of the filmmaker. Message in a Bottle is a cinematic treasure in the true sense of the word.
