A week in the life of a cosmetics salesman who visits beauty salons to beat his way through the after-work hours. His journey across a wintery Switzerland of grey suburbs and villages takes him via hairdressers shops, hotel rooms and sleezy bars to construction sites and fairs, over snow-covered mountains and through spooky shopping zones back to his home parking lot. He meets people of every stripe, chats, argues and remains silent with them and never gets rid of his silent companion, the melancholy of isolation.

Christian Schocher on the director’s cut, released in 2008:
“In the autumn of 1979, I shot my road movie “Reisender Krieger” with several friends, my very own presumptuous adaptation of Homer’s “Odyssey” and James Joyce’s “Ulysses”: the unadorned portrait of a country and of a man’s journey through this country. For many cineastes and film critics, “Reisender Krieger” has become a legend, for many others, especially for the youth, it is still just a legend known from hearsay, a figment of the imagination. Now, a quarter of a century later, I would like to bring my film – at once my most famous and fameless film – back to the cinema as the Director’s Cut. By way of exception, it is not longer but rather shorter than the original: “Reisender Krieger” in the clear, precise form I have always dreamed of.”
