Opera countertenor Alex Gottfarb is not alone – his inner self is crowded. Some other personae live within him – shy Alexander, sexy Sandra, teenager Lex and a seven-year-old prodigy Xandi. Each one of them has different ideas of what life should look like and yet they are all extremely dependent on each other. With the help of Helene, who loves him, Alex succeeds to get in touch with his cohabitants. Cascades of turbulent events and tragicomic misunderstandings accompany Alex’ struggle for identity, love and freedom.

In einem besetzten Establishment – einer Art selbstdefiniertem Subkosmos der Realität – findet eine sinnliche Suche nach Lust und Erfüllung statt. Frauen und Männer tanzen, begehren, interagieren; ihr perfekt choreografiertes Körperspiel wird zur symbiotischen Erweiterung eines exzessiv hedonistischen Unterbewusstseins. Mittendrin: Ein Mafiaboss will das Establishment unter seine Kontrolle bringen und findet dabei den Sinn des Lebens. Perfect Garden ist ein fabelhaft hypnotischer Film, utopisch und realistisch zugleich.

A series of snapshots from the life of a fictional actress named Shirley serves to weave together thirteen paintings by Edward Hopper (e.g. "Office at Night", "Western Motel", "Usherette", "A Woman in the Sun") into a fascinating synthesis of painting and film, personal and political history. Each station in Shirley’s professional and private life from the 1930s to 1960s is precisely dated: It is always August 28/29 of the year in question, as the locations vary from Paris to New York to Cape Cod.
