EISENZEIT

Eisenhüttenstadt was the “first socialist city of the GDR” – a planned city for the Eisenhüttenkombinat Ost. During his studies, director Thomas Heise gets into conversation with five young people from Eisenhüttenstadt. A planned film is prevented by his university and the Ministry of the Interior. Ten years later, Heise resumes his work. The result is a color 16 millimeter film – the story of Mario, Tilo, Karsten and Frank. Tilo and Mario committed suicide in the spring of 1989. Frank was released from prison to the West. Karsten stayed. Anka loved them all once.
