Schauplatz International went to the south of Spain to film their remake of King Kong. Why King Kong ? Because of the mixed reactions, the controversy he breeds. Because he is as fascinating as he is scary. Why the south of Spain ? Because, according to many Europeans, here is where one of Europe�s greatest menace lands : illegal refugees from the African continent. Starting from there, Schauplatz International investigates with their cameras. Little by little it becomes their quest. Instead of finding answers, their various encounters � with local fishermen, the Virgin Mary, European hippies or the ghosts of these refugees � generate new questions. But mostly, what arrises is a deep discomfort which they share with us by presenting and performing their film. . . All this, of course, flecked with irony.

With: Anna-Lisa Ellend, Martin Bieri, Albert Liebl, Lars Studer and guests. Coproduction: M�nchner Kammerspiele
