Felix Randau's I Is Another (Ich ist ein Anderer) arrives with an official Beta Cinema trailer and a Locarno festival slot, putting Claes Bang in the middle of one of postwar Europe's thorniest survivor myths: Felix Kersten, the masseur who said he used access to Heinrich Himmler to save lives.
If you only know Bang from The Square or Bad Sisters, this is a colder register. The clip sells a 1952 train confrontation, not a tidy hero biopic.

What Beta Cinema is selling
Beta Cinema's sales page frames the film as a historical drama about the controversial "Himmler's Therapist," with Bang in a morally complex role. Runtime is 93 minutes in German. Original title: Ich ist ein Anderer. Locarno is listed among selected festivals, and Beta handles international sales.
The plot engine is autumn 1952. Journalist Hedda (Valerie Pachner) and her husband Winfried corner Kersten on a train to Oslo, where Kersten is positioning himself around Nobel Peace Prize chatter. Kersten's story, in Beta's own synopsis, is that he helped thousands of concentration camp prisoners to freedom. Hedda treats that story as self-mythology.
A historical drama about the controversial "Himmler's Therapist" with Claes Bang in a morally complex role.
That line is Beta Cinema's own logline for buyers. The trailer leans into the interview that becomes a psychological duel: Kersten arrives armed with rhetoric and alleged evidence; Hedda keeps stacking contradictions.
