The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser
Fact-based tale of self-discovery about a young man who suddenly appeared in Nuremberg in 1828, barely able to walk or speak, having apparently been locked away since birth.
Tale of self-discovery based on the true story of a young man who suddenly appeared in Nuremberg in 1828 and later claimed to have been locked away in a tower since birth.
When found, he can barely walk or speak and has no concept of social behaviour. Eventually he learns to read, write, talk, perform in society and think for himself. But he remains an outsider, a mystery to both the town and himself.
