DAS GROSSE GLÜCK / THE GREAT FORTUNE
documentary film 60min
With Mirco Kuball as Mirco Kuball
A film by
Kirsten Burger, Mikko Gaestel & Johannes Müller
2016
„The perfect human – that’s me.” Mirco Kuball, the protagonist of „The Great Fortune“,
a millionaire living alone in a huge castle. The camera follows him and his chauffeur on his way between
luxurious boutiques, his dentist, massagist, cafés, etc.
Yes, he has the down syndrome,
and yes, he happens to fall in love with guys. But, much more important, he’s an artist which,
as he states, „means being an actor. It has a lot of meanings. I am here. Or I am not here.
But I’m still alive. And my house belongs to me.“
