In his experimental film, Schoenherr meditates on the life of the poet Robert Walser (and, by extension, on the life of every poet). The film is a single declaration of love to someone who refused to be co-opted. Robert Walser becomes the paradigm of the film auteur, who, more radically than any of his colleagues, eluded—or refused—the grammar and rhetoric of mainstream film.

Based on Robert Walser's play, Branca de Neve is a recital of Snow White over a black screen with spontaneous flashing images of clouds and some unintelligible dialogue.

Jakob arrives at the Institute Benjamenta (run by brother and sister Johannes and Lisa Benjamenta) to learn to become a servant. With seven other men, he studies under Lisa: absurd lessons of movement, drawing circles, and servility. He asks for a better room. No other students arrive and none leave for employment. Johannes is unhappy, imperious, and detached from the school's operation. Lisa is beautiful, at first tightly controlled, then on the verge of breakdown. There's a whiff of incest. Jakob is drawn to Lisa, and perhaps she to him. As winter sets in, she becomes catatonic. Things get worse; Johannes notes that all this has happened since Jakob came. Is there any cause and effect?

Joseph is hired by an inventor and moves in with his family. Although he doesn't get any salary for his work, he stays on because he believes that the highly dysfunctional family needs to be rescued.

Adaptation of Robert Walser's novel about a young man who enters an oppressive servant school.
