BLAUBEEREN - WINTERLIEB – WUHLO, eine Langzeitbeobachtung

Edith Penk visits a stately beech tree every day. She collects blueberries in the Muskau Heath. And yet the approaching open-cast mine threatens this landscape. #doc #eco #landscape

Edith and Kito Penk from Rohne take us on a walk across Muskau Heath. As nature conservationists, they notice how things in their surroundings are disappearing. Though the wintergreen still grows, large-scale machinery threatens to take over the forest. Accompanied by Sorbian music and poetry. #doc #landscape #eco

The edge of the mine moves closer and closer. Felled trees are the harbingers thereof. Blueberries grow on what was once a disposal area. Residents of the region share their views on the use of a landscape that entails loss for both people and nature. A poetic documentary film that sheds light on the contradictions and complications of lignite mining. #doc #landscape #eco
