Himmelfilm

What did the sky look like, when you were young? Almost everybody has their own special childhood skies and remember them to be bluer or cloudier, more dangerous or more enticing than anywhere else. This film invites us to think and look into our own past, by collecting sounds and personal whims from all over the world. At the same time it reminds us that, though the whole world may share one sky, we all see it from very different points of view. While the skies over Africa awaken the hope for life-saving rains, looking at the sky over the Balkans stirs memories of war and danger. The short stories of childhood, home and illusions are illustrated by shots of wide open landscapes and summer fields. An associative journey – colourful as an afternoon dream or pale like a faded photography. Sure the sky is blue – but is it the same all over? (DOK.fest München)
