With a sly wink and a certain sense of comedy and irony Lisa Strömbeck reflects on the hirtory of former GDR.
She documents the personal stories of eight former GDR citizens, with whom she spoke at length about their life in the GDR and the period after the Wende. Entirely different evaluations of the political and private changes experienced by the protagonists emerged; changes triggered by the dramatic process of transforming a socialist social structure into capitalism and all its inherent implications.
Disillusionment and hope thus occupy equal places in this work, which contains no spoken commentary by the artist, but leaves any statements to the people interviewed.
