A comic study of 20th century history, reconstructing the life of one Tulse Luper, a writer, project-maker and professional prisoner. He was born in 1911 in Newport, Wales and last heard of in 1989. The story of his life is here pieced together from the evidence found in 92 suitcases scattered around the world. In the first of three parts, we follow Tulse Luper through three distinct episodes: as a child during the first World War; as an explorer in Mormon Utah; and as a writer in Belgium during the rise of fascism.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
An experimental collage of a life told through fragmented episodes and formal playfulness, where cinema itself becomes the means of excavating history and meaning from scattered evidence. It's intellectually restless and formally daring, rewarding attention to how it's constructed as much as what it depicts.
