Synopsis
Deutschlandreise (Germany Journey) is a road movie through East Germany and at the same time a journey through time, because the documentary filmmaker Wolfgang Ettlich made the same journey for the first time after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990 and then several times at long intervals and met the same people again. The original material from the first trip gives unspectacular insights into people's everyday lives and the major changes become visible in contrast to the new images. Have people's hopes been fulfilled, were their fears justified? The conversations with the rediscovered protagonists provide information about their state of mind today.
