1983 documentary film by Helga Reidemeister

Dieser Film ist ein politisches Roadmovie. Es ist eine Reise um den ganzen Globus, auf der Suche nach dem Sinn in den Zeiten des Krieges und gleichzeitig eine Reise in die eigene Vergangenheit. Das zerstörte Kabul weckt Erinnerungen an die verwüsteten deutschen Städte nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg. Es ist ein Film, der in einem inneren und äußeren Ausnahmezustand entstanden ist.
