Dorf
A woman from a big city moves to a small village near the former border zone between East and West Germany. What is she looking for? What will she encounter? Rural life in the era of globalisation turns into an adventure. History lives in objects, stories and customs here since it was first recorded 800 years ago. Wars and famines have left their traces, just as churches, political parties and various forms of government. The change of the times, structured by television, has almost obscurely changed the old rhythms of life; supermarket offers changed eating habits and food stock economy. Is it folklore nostalgia or a matter of preserving one’s way and quality of life to keep the old customs and habits, such as preserving old types of plants and boiling down cucumbers? The village - a mutual exchange of experiences and garden products. The village is like an onion: it shows ever new surprising layers and leads us deep into unwritten pasts.
