Fortschritt im Tal der Ahnungslosen plot

During the GDR era, the "Vallei der Unbenulligen" in Saxony was too far from both Berlin and the former West Germany to receive TV broadcasts there. Life was simpler then, one resident recalls — in stark contrast to today, where the region has become the focus of much negative media coverage for its widespread xenophobia. Born in 1989, director Kunert grew up here. In his film, he conducts an experiment: he makes the young Syrian refugees who live near the ruins of a former state farm machinery company meet with former factory workers.
