One scaffold. One chief. Two painters.

The chief gives his two painters the order to paint a wall, but this simple task turns out to be more complicated,

since oneof the painters is afraid of heights.

Inspired by the movies of Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd, Peter Hübelbauer decided to experience slapstick for himself

and to experiment with it. Without using any digital tricks he and his team took up the challenge of reviving slapstick

on 16mm film following classic examples.

Singer, pianist and composer Robert Werner performed live his exclusive composition for The Scaffold at the premiere!
