WILDE(R)MANN<br />
by Roswitha Ziegler PORTRAIT | SUSTAINABILITY | SOCIAL BIOTOPE | ECONOMY<br />
Wilde(r)mann shows during one year the life of a very special farmer, Wolfgang Beuse and his<br />
sheppard, Helmut, both living in a small village Wildemann in the HARZ mountains.<br />
The farmer is kind of radical and very clear explanating what’s happening economical around him.<br />
He explains his situation with admirable lucidity. We watch him,his cows, goats, dogs, all the animals<br />
and people round the farm, also the life of some friends and relatives, which are unemployed paupers.<br />
It's a dying region with high population decrease. Young people leave the village to find work, only<br />
the old ones stay. At one hand the film shows how they try to keep their tradition, for instance during<br />
thanksgiving, they wear their traditional costumes and show their habits, their singing and yodelling,<br />
etc., the other hand is the problem to ‘survive’, and not to give up during this hard times of global<br />
crisis. To find a personal way of surviving by doing subsistence farming. Trying to be independent<br />
and being in luck even the times are getting harder and harder.<br />
