In the mid 19th century, hundreds of thousands of Europeans emigrated to faraway South America. It was a desperate bid to escape the famine, poverty and despotism that ruled at home. Their motto was: "Any fate is better than death". Edgar Reitz' new film Die andere Heimat is a domestic drama and love story set against the backdrop of this forgotten tragedy. It centres around two brothers who realise that only their dreams can save them. The film is a sweeping, epic evocation of the mass exodus of the German farmers and craftsmen and their dreams of the New World. European history, a true story relegated to oblivion, a tale of faith in the future. (Berlinale)
