How it feels

This documentary visits a tiny village in eastern Germany that was left behind by political and economic change. The people who stay there get by with humor and stubbornness, making do with little money and few jobs. The film shows their daily lives, from gardening to butchering pigs, and their attachment to a place others have forgotten.
