Die Lebenden



Barbara Albert : 2012
The Dead and the Living

The personal journey of 25-year-old Austrian woman Sita, back into the past of the Second World War and into the abyss of contemporary European society to clear the doubts she has about a family secret. The journey leads Sita from Berlin to Vienna, to Warsaw and to Romania. A film about losing your homeland, about self-discovery and identity, and about responsibility and hope. Award-winning director Barbara Albert's fourth feature is an examination of how the personal and political can intersect, as viewed through the prism of one family's experiences. The film premiered in competition at San Sebastián Film Festival 2012.
