In the autobiographical documentary EINE KRANKHEIT WIE EIN GEDICHT, director Jelena Ilić tells a story – full of warmth and humor – about reversed parent-child roles, the poetry found in chaos, and the impact of illness. We are screening the film as a preview ahead of its nationwide theatrical release, followed by a discussion with director Jelena Ilić.

About

Jelena Ilić's father suffers from drug-induced psychosis and has been in forensic psychiatry for five years. Now the day of his release is approaching. How can the director be sure that her father will not relapse and become violent again? How can a reconciliation be achieved? And how can society successfully reintegrate a mentally ill offender?
