Brüder und Schwestern 1991

Directed by Pavel Schnabel

Pavel Schnabel travelled to Weimar in 1988 on behalf of German regional public broadcaster SWR, to film a news feature on the city partnership between Trier and Weimar. He was assigned four "production assistants" from Eastern German television who introduced him to hand-picked protagonists for his film. After the fall of the Wall, Schnabel went to see these individuals again under radically altered circumstances.
