SESSION 1
LAST STOP: KREUZBERG (Documentary):Set in Kreuzberg, this documentary explores the lives and problems in a neighborhood in West Berlin where Greek and Turkish workers live.
MY SWEET HOME (Feature): Berlin. The film relates a series of tragicomic stories about people who run into each other in the course of an unsuccessful “Polterabend” (the traditional German party thrown on the eve of a wedding) in honor of an American guy and a German girl, being held in a quirky, dilapidated café. Stories about people who have lost their aim in life: they don’t want what they have and what they desire they will presumably never acquire.When they realize the absurdity of this trap they want to rebel, to pretend, to play, to dream! To celebrate their misfortune if only for one night. A film about the quest for some sort of security in life, a haven, what we call “home, sweet home”.
