Filmposter mit zwei Personen von hinten, ein Kind mit gelbem Pullover und eine weitere Person in weißem Hemd und Schal, im Hintergrund eine Stehlampe, Text mit Schauspielernamen und Filmtitel "Zauberer – ein Bub verschwindet und taucht wieder auf"

A psychiatrist and his blind girlfriend, bound by sinister interest. A school doctor, who lost more than work with her dismissal. Her brother, who will do everything for her. A desperate mother, who affectionately cares for her comatose son. Willing to try anything just to reach him again. A young man, who sells his body, because he lost his self long ago. A student, whose supposedly harmless joke connects their destinies. And a boy who vanishes and reappears.
