Introduction and post-screening talk by Andreas Kötzing
Nomination:
Best Film, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 1964
Even if the sky gets deeper
And you can’t see its scars
Right before the time of the Berlin Wall, Rita returns to her village in East Germany (GDR) to find peace and quiet after a nervous breakdown. Her memories stay afloat - of her past lover Manfred, her ambition to become a teacher and her factory work, “The city breathed heavier than usual that summer.” It was a time of political opportunists and ideological hardliners, the unspoken deceits of the East and the tantalising promise of the West.
This film was banned from time to time in the GDR, but remains as one of the bravest films of the former East German socialist state. Made with a newfound and explosive but brief creative freedom after the Wall was built in 1961, the making of this masterpiece was strongly influenced by the French New Wave.
