Promenades entre chien et loup, une fantaisie filmique d'Allemagne

Fifteen years after the collapse of the Berlin wall: what does it mean to be German? The moment has come to address open questions, to look at the burdens and achievements. "Walk with shadows, a film fantasy from Germany" is a journey back to my own country, re-visiting History within my own family. How did they experience of the First World War? What did they do during the 3rd Reich? How did they live through Germany's break-down, the split into East and West and much later on the reunification... - all this very 'normal' German madness has written itself deeply into my family. Underlying my quest are the comments of an eternal traveller: the German 'Wanderer', a figure of the Romantic area. Placing through his voice the personal memories into a larger context, an imaginary world rooted in poetry and old songs.
