Die Filmarbeit überzeugt durch die schlüssige wie komplexe Verzahnung von Ökonomie und Ökologie, Politik und Zeitgeschichte, lokale Anbindung von globalen Themen und individuellen Schicksalen.

Synopsis

Across four consecutive episodes, HABITAT reveals different lives unfolding around Germany's largest artificial lake. An opencast mine has been transformed through extensive rehabilitation into a recreational landscape. From his allotment, Reinhard Hirsch looks towards the point in the lake where his grandparents' house once stood. His home village of Zöbigker was sacrificed to mining.

The bee-eater, a vividly coloured migratory bird with an unmistakable call, nests in the abandoned spoil heaps. Amid the ruins of former industry, Christine Lattke waits with her camera for the bird's return from its wintering grounds in Africa. At a refugee shelter near the lake, Ganiyou Idriss from Niger waits for a decision on his asylum claim in Germany.

The Kurdish poet Farhan Kalasch lives on Glück-Auf-Straße, a former miners' settlement. Having received asylum in Germany, he is now trying to bring his wife and children to join him.
