Vom Traum unsinkbar zu sein

VOM TRAUM, UNSINKBAR ZU SEIN traces the rise and fall of GDR deep-sea fishing fleet – and the afterlives of its last surviving ships. Once more than a hundred strong, only a few vessels remain, now under new names, with new missions and new dreams: repurposed as rescue boats, cultural platforms, or sound spaces. Director Tom Fröhlich tracked down four of these vessels, combining found footage, eyewitness accounts, and a choir, he creates an emotional journey through memory – a maritime story of farewell, change, and the things that endure.
