Synopsis:

  • A border strip of about 5km width used to run along the eastern side of the former border between the two Germanies, to which entry was strictly prohibited for the general population. An area containing woods, fields, even small villages…. A place of symbolic meaning leaving its traces on people’s minds. The images of the film make up an imaginary stroll through these border landscapes. The soundtrack consists of anonymous stories referring to the East German era.
