During a workshop in Bad Muskau, Bernhard Sallmann shot his first Lusatian film, which was also rediscovered here, as a film student with a VHS camera. As it will be typical for his later works and following the work of the great role model Volker Koepp, the story revolves around the landscape. Completely soberly and in long shots, Sallmann reveals what is generally afflicted with a touch of the exotic, the scandalous, and which is currently being reinterpreted. GL
