The short film "Der Rückfall in die Dekadenz" by Federico Mesina deals with the 28-year-old actor Friedrich von Rebenstiel, who has agreed to be interviewed for a film. In the style of a mockumentary, von Rebenstiel is also accompanied outside of the interview. In an ironic way, the short film attempts to break up the fiction described by Friedrich with shots from reality and at the same time show the problematic relationship between role and private person. In doing so, the initially clear boundary becomes increasingly blurred and ultimately erases the private person completely.
