WENN WIR ERST TANZEN
Germany 2018 – Director: Dirk Heth, Olaf Winkler, Dirk Lienig – Original with English subtitles – Length: 93 min.
The town of Hoyerswerda is emblematic of the demise of the GDR. Everything that this town represented was swallowed up by the fall of communism. The people were left without any market worth. A citizens’ dance project helps them to live with the shame. A sensually choreographed, empathetic film.
