And the Spinning Wheel Keeps on Turning

Original title Und das Spinnrad dreht sich weiter

[mlsid]

Three generations under one roof: Lina, Lissi, Franz and Peter call themselves Swabians. They live in Nadasch, a German Village in Hungary, where their ancestors arrived 300 years ago. The observational documentary describes the everyday life of the Sipos / Frank family, their relation to the land they live off and their effort to keep a sense of German identity in contemporary Hungarian society. Only glimpses of a violent past interrupt the peaceful and quite rural life and personal tragedy proofs to be more important than historical landmarks.
