The film tells the story of a journey to Upper Lusatia, Germany's easternmost region. Between the Spree and Neisse rivers, brown coal, forests, lakes, quarries and pond landscapes, the film shows a region in a state of flux that is constantly reinventing itself. The focus is on the people who live here - and their stories about home, origins and change. The result is a portrait of those who have moved here and those who have stayed in a region that is often still misunderstood. In addition to natural wealth, industrial history and cultural heritage, the question of how the East wants to be seen in the rest of Germany today is also present.
