Unterleuten

The film adaptation of the major ZDF miniseries. The bestseller by Juli Zeh is directed by Matti Geschonneck and based on a screenplay by Magnus Vattrodt, titled "Unterleuten - The Torn Village," featuring Thomas Thieme, Miriam Stein, Charly Hübner, and Ulrich Noethen. A fleeting glance at the village in Brandenburg enchants with the ancient names of neighboring communities, the quirky locals who shape the place after the reunification, and the untouched nature with its rare bird species. However, behind the facades of the small houses, old disputes resurface. And although no one intends any harm, terrible things happen. With "Unterleuten," Juli Zeh has written a significant social novel about the important questions of our time, which reads as thrillingly as a thriller. Is there still a morality beyond self-interest in the 21st century? What do we believe in? And how is it that everyone always wants the best, yet terrible things still occur in the end?.
