Director: Edgar Reitz, 225 minutes, 2013
We are happy to invite you to the next installment of the ArtHouse Cinema program on Tuesday, the 24th of November 2015. This time we will screen the film called
Die andere Heimat (Home from home) directed by
Edgar Reitz.
When, in the middle of the 19th century, famine, poverty and despotism oppressed the people of Europe, hundreds of thousands immigrated to distant South America. “You can find something better than death everywhere,” was their hope and bitter realization. Against the background of this unforgotten drama, Edgar Reitz chronologically unfolds the story of longing in his new feature film
Die andere Heimat. The fictitious village “Schabbach” is once again the setting and universe. Here, we witness the story of two brothers who realise that only their dreams can save them in their village.
