she even became the cheese queen of the village where she was staying, so she knows the region and the farmers and their work there very well,” Paul notes. In addition to working closely with veteran screenwriter Wolfgang Kohlhaase (Sommer vorm Balkon) on the screenplay, Staudt further developed the project at last year’s Moonstone Screenwriters’ Lab in Scotland and explains that ”Wen der Berg ruft is a film about putting a relationship on ice that’s barely surviving in tough economic times. It’s about a cool but spectacular mountain summer and moving on to greener pastures. The challenge here is not only working hard at an altitude of 2,000 meters, but also getting along with people from different cultural backgrounds. For hundreds of years, farmers in the Swiss Alps have hired workers from abroad to help them out. These workers are cheaper and work longer hours than the locals – only fifty years ago, these workers came mainly from Italy or Austria. More recently, they came from Poland, Ukraine, Moldavia and Macedonia. Now, more and more Germans are taking up summer jobs because of the country’s stagnating economy.” “There are people in Eastern Germany who are at the halfway mark in life which could or should be the high point, but it seems their lives are already over,” says Paul, adding that, visually, the film will also point up the contrast between the mountains in Switzerland and the bleakness of home back in Eberswalde.
