Wohnen

Doris Dörrie, the celebrated filmmaker and author, shares her life as a resident and questions how and with whom we want to live – an endless variety of living situations unfolds. Doris Dörrie is a resident against her will. She never wanted to settle down, establish a permanent home, or put down roots, but she has always been fascinated by how others live. In California, she attends open houses just to imagine other lives in different spaces. During her countless travels to Japan, Mexico, Morocco, America, and Southern Europe, she observes how closely living is tied to each culture. As a filmmaker, she becomes an expert in creating artificial living environments. Yet, while describing her own childhood home, student apartments, shared living situations, and her experimental life in the countryside, one question keeps arising: Where has the space for women gone in all these houses and apartments? Could it be that the housewife has simply become a woman in a house with others? Doris Dörrie is determined: she wants to find her own unique way of living.
