The Disappearing Illusionist
Bobbie Peers : 2015
Dirk Ohm – Illusjonisten som forsvant
In mid-winter the German illusionist Dirk Ohm arrives in the small town of Grong, a place ridden by the disappearance of a young local woman, Maria. Dirk soon finds himself searching for Maria side by side with the villagers; and slowly he falls in love with the missing woman. In the loneliness of his hotel room he gives in to the illusion of their love relationship, she is to him more real than anything else. Maria's father views Dirk with increasing suspicion. Maria's mother, on the other hand, turns to Dirk in the hope that he has real clairvoyant abilities, and begs him to find her daughter. As the search moves towards a conclusion, Dirk finds himself under increasing pressure and expectation. And soon he will have to make the choice between reality and illusion. Inspired by a true event, the story is told in a magical and poetic landscape, challenging our perception of what's real and what's not, who we are when we are present and who are we when we are gone.
