Home song with harmonium. Collected and edited by Hans Jürgen Syberberg. From the restored kitchen of the former estate house in N. Hans Jürgen Syberberg’s latest work is an exploration in words and images of Demmin, a town close to the village, where he was born and grew up as a child. The film refers to the history of the town where one of the largest mass suicides took place at the end of the Second World War. It documents the attempts, initiated by Syberberg himself in recent decades in the form of artistic interventions on site, to reanimate the central market square as a community space. Syberberg is not concerned with restoring old conditions, but with questions of community in a place that has lost its center.
