Leichte Winter

Europe looks toward the east. Doris Kittler travels through the former Soviet Union and tells of the fascinating, contradictory, scurrilously humorous, but also hard experiences that living in this region can mean for a central European. She traces ambivalent feelings and shows the process of an encounter that engenders change. Oscillating between curiosity about what is foreign and longing for what is familiar immediately raises the question: What is home? Her documentary film shows the perspective of foreign lectors living through this process of encounter and returning as changed individuals.
