Signer's Suitcase is a kind of road movie across Europe. From the Swiss Alps to eastern Poland, from Stromboli to Iceland. Always following the scenery's magically charged contours. Immersing yourself, letting yourself be infected, then travelling on. Roman Signer determines the route that we are moving on and the film improvises along the way. Being on the road also means tracking down the right places. Signer brings them alive using his own personal instruments, brilliantly simple operations full of subtle humour. 'Simply' poems being transmitted into space. Signer's Suitcase is also a journey through the state of mind. A tightrope walk between fun and melancholy. Danger becomes the stimulus of the senses - also mental danger. Sudden crashes, abrupt changes of mood determine the rhythm and atmosphere of the cinematic journey. Even when the film leads us to the most remote landscapes, finds pleasure in circumventing borders, it is still accompanied by a peculiar homesickness.
