A striking panorama of the past century of German history set in a house on a lake in Brandenburg: a stage for the stories and lives of successive owners and their intertwined fates, shaped by monumental historical events. Its inhabitants live through the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the war and its aftermath, East Germany, and the post-unification era, all while searching for home and a place to belong.
Heimsuchung is a microcosm of German history where displacement and loss, home and origin, suppression and memory crystallize into human and historical drama. Alongside impressive imagery of nature and human fates, the work traces the precise chronicle of a century. Directing legend Volker Schlöndorff turns his lens to the acclaimed German bestseller by award-winning author Jenny Erpenbeck.
Shows are in German unless they carry their language, like EN for English.
