Die Cousins
In the organizer's words:
The Cousins
Rainer Ackermann, Thomas Plenert, Christian Lehmann, FRG 1988, 90 min, German OV
Three young Hamburgers, the brothers Viktor and Bruno Prieß and their cousin Heinz, arrive in Spain at the turn of the year 1936/37 to fight in the civil war against the Franco putschists. Bruno is killed in the Battle of the Ebro. After Franco's victory, the cousins Viktor and Heinz go their separate ways, one living in West Germany, the other in East Germany. After around 50 years, the filmmakers Ackermann, Plenert and Lehmann initiate a reunion and a joint journey of the cousins to Spain, back to the places where the war took place. The film's genesis is just as special: a West German production company and the DEFA Studio for Documentary Film in East Berlin accomplish the first ever German-German co-production.
