"THE DREAM OF BEING INVISIBLE" PREMIERE at the STRAZEkino in Greifswald with director Tom Fröhlich.
In *THE DREAM OF BEING UNSINKABLE*, Rostock-based director Tom Fröhlich tells a story of home set at sea. At its peak, the GDR’s deep-sea fishing fleet comprised over 100 vessels—the largest ever to sail under the German flag. In 40 years of large-scale shipping operations, not a single vessel was lost at sea. Today, only a few of these steel colossi remain. Tom Fröhlich has tracked down four of them: off the coast of Greenland, in a Spanish port, at a Danish scrapyard, and in the Port of Hamburg. They are the last witnesses to a vanished working world and, at the same time, living places where people still work, live, and remember today. Narrated by Charly Hübner.
The film explores the effects of German reunification, globalization, and industrialization—at the same time, it is a multi-layered reflection on memory, home, and painful loss in an ever-changing world.
In theaters starting July 2.
