'Edgar Wallace Jr.' is an auto-ethnographic, documentary and essayistic short film, which portrays the everyday life of ex-convict Edgar Wallace Jr. living in West Side Chicago within a time frame of nine months. During the film it becomes more and more apparent how Edgar is trapped in the unprivileged social structures surrounding him and how he copes with them - until something very unexpected happens. At the same time the filmmaker reflects the issue of subjectivity, closeness and distance by never appearing in front of the camera.
