Details
A family in close-up - in a typical East German concrete highrise. Some years after 1989 Micha is making a documentary about his family for film school, and rather unwittingly uncovers a lot. His father was a Stasi informant, his pregnant sister can't continue university and his best friend is suddenly a Neo-nazi. It may even be that Micha himself was involved in that famous arson attack on the Sunflower House. Micha's film forces the different generations to make decisions with regard to their past and future, and becomes a study of constructed individual and collective memory in the wake of the "reunification". Sunflower House is Phase two of the Divided Skies Season - www.dividedskies.org
