Kein schöner Land

After a joint trip to the Isar River, four women and four men decide to put contemporary German culture to the test. They are experts on fashion, literature and art, on theater, food and music, on politics, film and television. They are the independent spirits so urgently needed in this country - and so rarely respected. The result is a diagnosis of the present that is as entertaining as it is controversial and has never been seen before. Eight pinpricks against the German stupor, eight critical perspectives on a country on the threshold of the new twenties: Kein schöner Land is a boot camp against intellectual inertia - and an escape from German comfort.
