The Synopsis
A film essay documenting the devastation of the Lausitz region. The Sorb writer Jurij Koch describes the destruction wreaked as a component in an act of ethnocide: "The end of a language; even if the step is appantantly an economic necessity in terms of furhtering the region, it signifies impoverishment, the excavation of an ethnic habitat - a restriction of human richness."
