    Synopsis

    Demographic change hits the small town of Loitz [lø:ts] in Western Pomerania with full force. Since 1990, the once thriving community has lost a third of its population – by 2030, it will be half. A future-project led by the Berlin couple Annika and Rolando now aims to counteract the town's demise by creating a place for encounters. A group of music enthusiasts is also trying to see the vacancy as an opportunity and set up a festival. Does it need external impulses like these or has a decisive process of encounter already begun? Infinite Place tells the story of people who fill a dying town with their lives – a cinematic examination of a development that can be observed in many places in Germany and around the world.
