This film was shot in 1988. The main action takes place in a rock group's studio during the visit of a few acolytes from Theatre Theatre. It is all served up in connection with Fassbinder 's notion of Antitheatre. The theme of the “mad prince” in actors' improvisations intertwines with the fate of the director and of directing in general.

The adventures of the spirit form the true tale of this film. We use only the single interior, the studio room where nothing happens aside from the pulsations of spirit. It comes to life here, and it rests, as if gaining new strength. The Mad Prince Fassbinder is, indeed, spirit. Only a free camera is capable of capturing this freedom.

The film is based on the way that prototype identifies with character. It is a monologic dance (the camera and the hero together) that manifests the principles of new video. The hero's text consists of a lecture on Fassbinder's life and work reframed in the acerbic manner of the Russian avant-garde of that time. The lecture may be likened to an intricate and capricious continuous line that, in its graphic dance, gradually reveals to us that its one-and-only, many-faced, character – the mad prince Fassbinder – is the very essence of video cinema.
