The Color Brown (1994)

Views and pronouncements from inside Germany, filtered and condensed from TV and home video from 1992 to 1994. At times dreamy and sunny: black brown is the hazelnut and so is our rough-haired dachshund. Or bloodcurdling: the somnambulistic speeches of the former Minister of the Interior of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the hair-raising excuses of his police director, the shrill remarks of the residents. Little by little, they draw ever tighter circles around the common (security) topic: shit. Where was Hitler born, where did he become German and who did he marry? Which laxative is actually rifle-cleaning oil? What really happened on August 24, 1992 in Rostock-Lichtenhagen? The Color Brown premiered under the title Pfui–Fornication and Order in Germany (Pfui–Fornication and Order in Germany) at the 25th International Forum of Young Cinema in 1995.
