A gravel path on the edge of a village. Between fields. Drawn into the map of former uranium mining areas in Saxony and Thuringia. From 1946 to 1990, the Soviet corporation SAG Wismut mined uranium there for the USSR’s nuclear weapons program. Above ground, socialism shines; below, the ancient rocks radiate through the torn-up earth. The film follows this trace horizontally through today’s landscapes. Deep drilling through space and time traces the sedimented narratives.
Director Alex Gerbaulet will be present at the screening.
