West­ern­town

The „Spreepark Plänterwald“ was the most popular amusement park in the DDR. After the fall of the wall the park was mismanaged into financial ruin. For 4 years this area at the edge of Berlin lies in a state of hibernation: nature is taking back its land; the fairground rides are overgrown with ivy; the fencing has numerous holes, making the job harder for the security personnel. Inside this zone lays a small westerntown. Here Peter and Nancy Schiller live with their five children. They are all hardy country fans.

Maybe for­ev­er

Surja has to force him, otherwise Sid wouldn’t climb the rusty gate with his elegant jacket. She’s very curious and wants to take pictures... Big heights, tumbling stones and a roof truss gutted by fire – there are many reasons for Sid to not enter the industrial ruin. But he can’t refuse Surja. The reward is a mesmerizing sunset. It will be their last and at the same time first one together. There is just one thing that’s for sure: Sid will never forget Surja.
