Spiegelberg - Ein deutsches Dorf (Germany) by Adrian Sagolla
A small village deep in the Swabian Forest. The last village store is about to close. Between nostalgia and decline, idyll and bleakness, five people share their perspective on society and a place that, in many ways, reflects a time that no longer exists. A documentary that captures the spirit of life in the microcosm of a german village.
