QRT – a condensed existence of the 90s in Berlin, sleepless and aimless, analyzing the themes of the time. Techno and heroin, heroes and saints, comics and film, philosophy and performance. He turned himself into a subject of radical living, too close, too intense. This documentary approaches QRT’s life and crafts an anecdotal biography through interviews with friends who look back on their shared time up to QRT’s tragic drug-related death in ‘96. Excerpts from his texts, published posthumously by Merve Verlag, are also presented.
