1829 taucht in Nürnberg ein geheimnisvoller junger Mann auf. Er kann kaum gehen und sprechen. Sein Leben lang war er in einem Kellerloch eingesperrt, ohne jeden menschlichen Kontakt. Sofort erweckt er die Neugier der Biedermeier-Gesellschaft. Bei seinem Lehrer lernt er lesen, schreiben und die gesellschaftlichen Umgangsformen. Doch seine naive, unverbildete Logik stößt auf Unverständnis Sie provoziert, entlarvt und verspottet die Gesellschaft. Das Ende seiner Gefangenschaft bringt Kaspar Hauser keine Befreiung...

This film would not work as a psychological sociological study (which Herzog certainly did not try to do) because who would believe that a person who was supposed to be tied up in a basement until the age of 16 would not learn to walk, speak, and think within a few years... (for example, Truffaut's The Wild Child (1970) or Mockingbird Don't Sing (2001) in relation to this topic). However, similarities between human life in general can be traced in the film, although it is quite paradoxical considering the very individual fate of Kaspar Hauser. Indeed, we are all thrown into our lives by someone without our contribution, without our choice, and without knowledge. Society then tells everyone how to perceive and explain the world around them, and it tries to adapt each person to its own image so that they correspond to its "protocol" (Kaspar is born for society only when he appears in the middle of Nuremberg square, or when he is brought to the house of the officer, and from that moment until the end, the protocol of his life is created). And just as he was thrown defenselessly into the world, he is just as insidiously, gratuitously, and arbitrarily thrown out of it by the same person.
