In an adaptation of Sartre’s WWII novel “Iron in The Soul,” as well as notes from his personal war diaries, The Adaptation visits differing pasts, presents and futures simultaneously, crisscrossing through a time-scape of fiction, authorization and the collectively remembered. Counter-remembering. It tries to remember what it is to remember and how this is done in the madness of collectivity. The method of the filmic adaptation is used as entry point into a contemplative exercise on the shared space of history, theater, war and cinema – be it in orchestrated machinic tracking shots or the bodily grittiness of the prosthetic action camera.
