Heimat

Halfway between a documentary and an artistic installation, Heimat, starting from the creative fragmentation of the Last Letters from Stalingrad, a collection of letters written in December 1942 by German soldiers besieged in the Stalingrad sack, is a sensorial and universal investigation of that very mysterious object that is the memory of Home: a mysterious, elusive object, always on the verge of fading. In Heimat, the paste of old family films, brushstrokes of color and chemical residues of decomposing film coexist. A reality that becomes oneiric, almost hallucinatory. The images and sounds in Heimat express all their materiality, their being objects marked by time, consumed, and ruined. An extremely sensorial cinematic experience to reflect on memory what binds us to our affections and everything we call home. In a word: our Heimat.
