The Lusatian mining district and the former "socialist residential town" of Hoyerswerda form the backdrop for the biography of Gerhard Gundermann, rock poet, digger driver and "voice of the East". Global issues are concentrated in the region and in his work like in a burning mirror: home and industry, the end of work, utopia and individual responsibility.
