WOLKEN ÜBER LÜTZERATH, a film about anger, resistance, hope and a perspective that assures us: Lützi is alive, even if the village is no longer standing!

The images of the resistance, the police, the excavators and the small village on the edge of the demolition site are all over the press, throughout Germany and the world. Lukas Reiter has these images too. But his approach is different. He wants to show what happens here, how a place like this works, how people live here and how the movement is organized inside. He lives in Lützerath for six months, as part of the resistance and as an observer, looking, questioning, observing the people who now live here, who are involved, people who are doing everything politically and locally not to lose the village.

His gaze is so deep, so interested and circumspect that he succeeds in fanning out the movement impressively - free of clichés and reservations; approachable, self-critical and always with a portion of pleasant lightness. Always in focus: Blinker, Ronni and Kathrin - they couldn't be more different, but they agree on one thing: for them, the 1.5 degree border runs in Lützerath.
