"Since I can speak, I can stand up normally; but falling has only hurt since I can speak; but the pain of falling is only half as bad since I know I can talk about the pain; but falling is twice as bad since I know that others can talk about my falling; but falling doesn’t hurt at all anymore since I know I can forget the pain; but the pain never stops anymore since I know I can be ashamed of falling." — Peter Handke, "Kaspar"

Kaspar was raised as a dog and is now finding his way in the world as a human. In his complex journey lies a unique opportunity for reflection. He stands at the crossroads of two worlds: while discovering his life in human form, his time among dogs remains the foundation. That is his perspective. But his current life raises a question that goes beyond his own identity: What does it mean to be human? Kaspar's experiences, rooted in the unconditional love and simplicity of a dog's existence, cast a shadow over the complexity and pain of human life. He is forced to confront the paradoxes of human emotions and relationships. And in this struggle, he may find the key to a deeper understanding of the eternal question of happiness.
