The Braschka (or master of ceremonies) accompanies the couple and the village community, the latter also in traditional costume, from the invitation process and the donning of the wedding dress in the morning to the removal of the bridal jewellery in the evening. This early DEFA film not only captured the region's wedding customs down to the last detail but also today provides, above all, impressive evidence of what was then an exclusively Sorbian existence in the "Hoyerswerda Heathlands", a life which is revealed in an incidental, at times almost marginal, fashion. As such, the film today also speaks of the loss the region has undergone. GL
