Der Partisan
The Partisan
Three friends gather on a plateau in Marzahn, the view dominated by East Berlin's pre-fabricated tower blocks. They discuss animatedly, take a swig of beer and then fall into silence. The words have a certain eloquence; “the place you come from doesn't exist anymore. Where you thought you were you going, it never even existed.” Or take: “the West's tenancy laws are nothing but a form of class struggle!” Idiosyncratic though the style might be, the trio nevertheless display a remarkable ease with words.
