Promenades entre chien et loup. Une fantaisie filmique d’Allemagne

After living in France for ten years, director Anja Unger returns to her home country Germany. She is searching for evidence of history in her own family’s past. Looking through a family album she discovers relatives she never met. One of them is a great-uncle who joined the SS early on. Another great-uncle committed suicide in Rostock, after Germany was divided. There are many burning questions to be answered: What did her grandmother think, when she visited the freed concentration camps? What was Eastern Germany like in the years after the Re-Unification? On her journey Unger comes to realize how strongly her family’s story is formed by history. In the conversations with her relatives, the past becomes living memory. (DOK.fest München)
