Paul Jannowski

Synopsis

Paul Jannowski, the only $living cannonball” of the Eastern Bloc, was the superstar of the East German State Circus. But one day he dared to do the unthinkable: he shot himself across the Elbe to the West. He left love, friendships, and disappointment behind. Now, he looks back upon his adventurous life and plans one last coup. A portrait too good to be true.
