(Träume der Lausitz)

Content: Lusatia - the former energy production center of the GDR, today a landscape depleted by lignite mining. Large lakes have been created in which you can "rust" while swimming, and landscape formations reminiscent of the Grand Canyon of the Wild West. Native wolves and many exotic species of international flora and fauna are inexorably conquering new habitats. The people who have remained persevere like settlers. They appear in the film as narrators of their sometimes bizarre stories. We see how they try with imagination and commitment to wrest a re-inhabitable piece of earth from their battered landscape. For Lusatia harbors the old dream of Prince Pückler: the dream of a landscape for people. More is happening in Lusatia than we dare to dream.
