Portrait of Karl Marx as a young god is an absurd documentary about (political) desire.

The film consists of collages and drawings with voice over comments by a telephone speaker. The images visualize specific historical reminiscences from recent German history, while the voice over extends and counteracts these images with a multitude of absurd and humorous interpretations.
