Why watch?
“The visual consideration given to the storytelling means that the harshness of story is balanced by a rich visual experience for the audience, one that at times even comes to feel romantic and dreamlike. This feels like a nod to the rich inner lives of the characters and is a sharp reminder to audiences that this is a work of art, a work of feeling and emotion, whatever historical facts and waypoints may have been plotted in the film's 155-minute runtime. It is a film to be felt and experienced, and whilst that makes it hard at times, it’s also the extreme pleasure of the film.”

Das Deutsche Volk (The German People)
Four girls, Alma (1910s), Erika (1940s), Angelika (1980s), and Lenka (2020s) each spend their youth on the same farm in northern Germany. As the home evolves over a century, echoes of the past linger in its walls.
Whilst decades separate the girls, resonances between their lives emerge: their desires and distress, secrets and truths, encounters with another’s gaze and defiant gaze in return.
