Synopsis:

This set contains 6 full time feature films of Volker Koepp (PLEASE NOTE - 'Dieses Jahr in Czernowitz' and 'Kursche Nehrug' DO NOT HAVE ENGLISH OPTIONS):

Herr Zwilling und Frau Zuckermann:
Documentary. A study of the ethnic and cultural melting pot city of Czernowitz in western Ukraine, near the Romanian border. Once with a nearly fifty per cent Jewish population, only a few individuals, such as Mr Zwilling and Mrs Zuckermann, now survive.

Herr Zwilling und Frau Zuckermann:
Two old friends and fellow Holocaust survivors stroll through the streets of Chernovtsy, near Romania recalling their personal stories of survival before, during and after being imprisoned in Nazi death camps.

Pommerland:
Volker Koepp ventures into the 'Schattenland' (shadowland) of Masuria, a lake land region in the north-east of Poland, bordering on the Kaliningrad Oblast, and part of East Prussia until 1945. There he encounters a variety of people: poor Ukrainian farmers who settled after the Second World War, estranged from Poland but with no obvious links to Ukraine; fishermen scraping a living, chipping through ice to seek their meagre catch; a young architect from Warsaw and his Lithuanian partner in their holiday home, attracted by the scenery; a retired German newscaster, reminiscing about the post-war flight of the German population. In the best documentary style, these interviews are unobtrusive, focused entirely on the speakers, in their homes or in the fields, and interspersed with footage of the land - water, trees, clouds, snow, light. It is long enough to leave room for contemplation, overspilling the standard one-hour slot given to made-for-TV docs (in Britain at least: perhaps German TV is better).
