Every year in the United States there are 30,000 murders.

In that same time there are 60,000 suicides.

Wouldn't it be great if we could get these people together?


The Altruist is a story of death, murder, and deceit with flavorings of romance and compassion.


The small company Terminal Assist specializes in counseling people and helping them through the toughest of times in life. They offer legitimate services to needy people. But, oftentimes, there are no alternatives to compassionate help but the most extreme ones. Some people are just so bad off with a terminal illness that they need instant relief, to kill the pain.


If you have thousands of murderers out there, and thousands of people wanting to opt out of their terminal problems, why not marry the two? Everyone is happy (or happily dead) in the end and the law is none the wiser. If anyone found out, there could be problems. Boy, could there be problems...

Now, Dr. Masters is running the asylum alone with her brand-new nurse, who does her best to befriend the eclectic group of patients: the shell-shocked ex-sergeant; the lobotomized Popsicle-sucking child-man; the puritanical former judge; the doom-dealing old woman; the would-be mother to a baby doll; the giggling, clown-haired prankster; the needy nymphomaniac; and the mainly catatonic young woman who occasionally indulges in knife attacks. The pretty young nurse was eager to work with the forward-thinking Dr. Stephens, but finds his successor to be less than welcoming and the hospital to be less than wholesome.

The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (1974) is a West German film written and directed by Werner Herzog about the legend of Kaspar Hauser. Its original German title is Jeder für sich und Gott gegen alle, which means "Every man for himself and God against them all". The film was part of the competition for the Palme d'Or at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival, where it won 3 awards including the Grand Prize of the Jury and Prize of the Ecumenical Jury.


The film follows the real story of Kaspar Hauser quite closely, using the text of actual letters found with Hauser, and following many details in the opening sequence of Hauser's confinement and release. One departure is his age: the historical Hauser was 17 when he was discovered in Nuremberg. The film does not specify Kaspar's age, but Bruno was 41 years old at the time of filming.


* Plot :

The film tells the story of Kaspar Hauser (played by Bruno S.), who lived for the first 17 years of his life chained in a tiny cellar with only a toy horse to occupy his time, devoid of all human contact except for a stranger who feeds him.


One day in 1828, the same stranger takes Kaspar out of his cell, teaches him a few phrases and how to walk, and then leaves him in the town of Nuremberg. Kaspar is the subject of curiosity and is even exhibited in a circus before being rescued by Herr Daumer (Walter Ladengast) who patiently attempts to transform him.


Kaspar soon learns to read and write and develops unorthodox approaches to religion and logic, but music is what pleases him most. He attracts the attention of clerics, academics, and nobility, but he is attacked by the same man who brought him to Nuremberg, who leaves him unconscious with a bleeding head.


He recovers but is again mysteriously attacked, this time stabbed in the chest. Kaspar rests in bed describing visions he had of nomadic Berbers in the Sahara Desert, and he dies shortly thereafter. An autopsy reveals an enlarged liver and cerebellum.
