Of enchanted things, the blast furnaces of the soul, and the music of thoughts. The great ape defends what it loves most against a world of devils. But who and what is this apparently undomesticated creature? Could it perhaps lie within ourselves? Does a ground open up here on which we can move with self-assurance? For Alexander Kluge, this raises the question of accessible spaces within us humans and in our millions of years of history. He explores this space in thirteen stations from varying perspectives, yet always through concrete stories. It concerns "repair experience" as an essential life practice, as well as the genealogical memory of father and mother. However, a chronicle of connection includes not only people but also things along with the human labor preserved within them. Are such things not often "enchanted" themselves?.
