Beyond our northern borders, in Saxony and Brandenburg, live the representatives of the smallest Slavic nation, the Lusatian Serbs. Director Grit Lemke, having roots in Lusatian-Serbian area herself, explores the traditions of this people and reflects on what shapes their identity in her documentary, which is the first film ever made about them. Through the protagonist, Anna, Hanka in Lusatian-Serbian, she also shows the way in which the upcoming generation approaches self-determination.
