Der Kaufmann Caraco is a brief cinematic approach by the artist Françoise Caraco to the almost forgotten top dealer Abraham Caraco on Rennweg in Zurich. The existence of the man who was her great-grandson is schematically traced in the video, with the voice of the secondary character of the same name in Kurt Frühs film Hinter den sieben Gleisen, in an interview with an employee of the top dealer who has since died, with the wording of Abraham Caraco‘s Zurich naturalization file.
