It seems that there is a profound division on the Baltic Sea island of Hiddensee between newcomers and locals. Director Annekathrin Hendel tries to listen to both sides as neutrally as possible and form a picture of the present. In between, she recounts the island’s history, from the Roaring Twenties through the Nazi era to the role the island played during the GDR era as a meeting place for the East German underground scene and a place of longing for those seeking freedom. It becomes clear that big-picture politics has always left its mark on the island, which is just 17 km long.
