Ein Landfilm

State of Brandenburg: The East Elbe Junkers with their large estates owned considerable parts of the land. In 1946, there was land reform in the former Soviet occupation zone, followed by the "socialist collectivization" of agriculture in the 1950s. Today, Brandenburg is a "new federal state". Once again, the population is confronted with major changes. Volker Koepp portrays the people in the villages of Häsen, Grüneberg and Bergsdorf in the Löwenberger Land region north of Oranienburg and describes the new living conditions. The word of the hour is "job creation scheme". A leisure park is to be built on an open field and bring an economic upturn. What does it mean to be a farmer today? The film searches for an answer and records people's stories.
