Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge

An adaptation of the semi-autobiographical novel by Rainer Maria Rilke. A young man "lives in a cheap room in Paris while his belongings rot in storage. Every person he sees seems to carry their death within them and with little but a library card to distinguish him from the city's untouchables, he thinks of the deaths, and ghosts, of his aristocratic family, of which he is the sole living descendant."--Goodreads.
