Die Unberührbare
NO PLACE TO GO
30
Autumn 1989. Writer Hanna Flanders is bewildered by the fact that the Berlin Wall has
come down. Having participated in the student uprising in 1968 she had always viewed
the GDR as the better part of Germany. On a whim she now decides to move to Berlin,
to the center of a newly formed Germany. Inspired by the reunification, Hanna Flanders
is also hoping for a new beginning for herself. But in a painful odyssey she experiences
a society on the brink of rapid change. Knowing she has missed the boat, Hanna Flanders
is heading for disaster.
No Place To Go is an impressive psychological portrait of a sensitive personality. Hanna
is destroyed by the conflict between her own desires and the new realities of a changed
society. Acting alongside Hannelore Elsner are Michael Gwisdek, Charles Regnier, Nina
Petri, Jasmin Tabatabai, Lars Rudolph and Vadim Glowna.
