Project Detail

Zweifel (Doubt)

Synopsis

A surreal look at the remnants of Socialist East Germany. Told through a double of the ex-president Erich Honecker, two ex-border guards (one east, one west) who photographed each other over the fence for 18 years and a man with a dream to rebuild his own version of the GDR in a bleak East German town with 70% unemployment.

A complex insight into the confused aftermath of a vanished country.
