Filming on location rather than a studio soundstage will create a fresh look and distinctive aesthetic, adding to the film's visual appeal. The main story tells of a young Greek man who leaves his native country and sets out for Germany in search of his father, whom he had believed dead. His quest takes him to the "Town of Lost Souls," which had once been inhabited by many numerous immigrants, or Gastarbeiter ("guest workers"). Many years ago, it had been a thriving town and its people prosperous. Then its fortunes changed and many workers lost their jobs. The young people all moved away to the cities, and the only ones remaining today are a few “ghostly souls.” LENGTH app. 100 min FORMAT 35mm, CAST --- SHOOTING LOCATION Ruhr area ORIGINAL LANGUAGE german CO PRODUCTION WITH --- SUPPORTED BY MEDIA Development, Filmstiftung NRW preproduction WORLD SALES --- FESTIVALS AWARDS --- GERMAN DISTRIBUTOR --- SOUNDTRACK AVAILABLE --- DVD VIDEO AVAILABLE --- LINKS --- PRODUCERS Raimond Goebel WRITERS Samy Challah (supproted by Binger Institute Amsterdam) DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY --- EDITING --- CASTING --- PRODUCTION --- SOUND --- ART DIRECTION --- COSTUMES --- MAKE UP HAIR --- MUSIC --- BACK               impressum
