[ˈdʊŋkl̩ˌdɔɪ̯ʧlant]                      

A stroll in a ghost train takes place through the ancient industrial region of East Germany around Halle/Bitterfeld that tries to get rid of its bad reputation: the chimneys and plants disappear, wellness centres appear, sheep graze under solar panels. The recent past is stocked near the new surface. The filmmakers born at Dunkeldeutschland, stumbling subjective camera, try to find the good distance. Their journey start in the ancient film plant ORWO at Wolfen where the employees used to work in total darkness. The film transports the public inside this place to a sensorial journey towards initially unknown spaces that progressively shut up a belonging region.

It presents surprisingly the integration of socialist Germany – ironically called by the Occident the Dark Germany – and the definition of a new perimeter. The darkness and other hidden sensation of the places drop the public in constant territory discoveries, associated with opening and closing feelings, distance evaluation, and study of new measures. The film superposes past and future in sensation layers that oscillate between disappearance and invention of a place.
