heute war damals zukunft
today was the future back then
Essays written back in 1985 by ninth grade
students on the topic of "How Do I Imagine
My Life in the Year 2010" and since then
preserved by the teacher must be a real find
for a documentary filmmaker. Interviews
carried out with a number of the schoolchildren
twenty-five years on offer insight
into the high drama which characterised
this period. The essays alone however also
provide clues as to the background of this
drama: East Germany's younger generations
had already emigrated to the West long
before the Wall even fell.
