Zuwandern / Immigrating

ZUWANDERN / IMMIGRATING Documentary / 81 min. / Germany 2014 Romanian and German with English subtitles Contact: sabine.herpich@posteo.de When their economic situation worsened, Carmen and George Badea decided to leave Romania. The question in which country a better life would be possible was not the most important and it was more by chance that they decided on Germany. Lacking both contacts and German language skills, they spend their first winter in an abandoned garden house in Berlin. The film accompanies the family for nine months, during which they are no longer on the streets, but are also without stable income. The film also captures their interaction with the authorities.
