Quote:
The land between the Vistula, Volga, Baltic Sea, and Black Sea was known in ancient times as Sarmatia. German documentary filmmaker Volker Koepp travels through the region that is now Moldova, Belarus, Lithuania, and Ukraine. He follows the course of the great rivers to the Curonian Lagoon on the Baltic coast and paints a detailed picture of a region that has almost disappeared from our consciousness today. In the process, he meets protagonists from earlier films – and follows the poems of a man who explored and experienced the landscape himself: the German poet Johannes Bobrowski, who was born in Sarmatia and knows the country very well. Bobrowski explored the area on many journeys and with open eyes; he incorporated his impressions into his literary work.
