Vaters Land (1987)

Peter Krieg documents a journey through the Federal Republic of Germany with his young daughter, during which he explains various concepts to her, such as patriotism, xenophobia, the "religion of the father," and similar ideas. In this way, Krieg confronts the viewer with his very personal, exaggerated, and at times contradictory view of a specific trend in contemporary Germany—a "new patriotism"—and, precisely through his polemic, encourages reflection.
