Since the mid 1980s Detlef Gumm and Hans-Georg Ullrich have followed the inhabitants of Berlin's Wilmersdorf district with their cameras. Their long-term observational films describe the hopes and dreams of ordinary people. Dryly humorous and sometimes even grotesque, these films are a touching journey through time pervaded by friend-ship, patience, trust and warmth. Taking these ostensibly normal events, they have turned them into a compelling comédie humaine about health, money and love, fleeting moments of happiness and great misfortune.
