For millions of people; however, the Soviet dream became a nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>After all these years since its collapse, what still remains of the Soviet Union? How can one approach the complex history of the mighty Soviet empire today? Henrike Sandner (*1971 in Dresden) answers these questions in a very personal film. Her film episodically follows the history of the Soviet Union and the Soviet myths of greatness, heroes, new people and a new Soviet culture, based on her own story.<\/p>\n<p>The film lasts 52 minutes and spans the years 1917 to 1991 &#8211; a story of contrasts that juxtaposes different perspectives and realities. Private archive footage and photos contrast with &#8220;official&#8221; news, Soviet film material or DEFA film classics.
