"NOT ME - A Journey with Not Vital" takes us on a maelstrom through the eventful life and rich oeuvre of the contemporary Swiss artist Not Vital. The film essay sheds light on the work of the internationally renowned artist from Graubünden, who for a long time remained the well-known unknown in his home country.

Director Pascal Hofmann traces the driving force of the restless cosmopolitan and establishes a dialogue between the motifs in Vital's work, his childhood dreams and the influences of his most important stations such as Beijing, Patagonia, Niger, Sent in Graubünden or New York.
The film opens up a visually powerful insight into Vital's perception of reality and its translation into his art. Until the end, the film remains a slightly enraptured search for traces of the longings of an artist who came from the mountains, shaped by the author.
