A Town Called Hermitage (2007)

Poustevna, das ist Paradies

Most original inhabitants were moved away from this small town located close to the German border for their German origin. Instead of focusing on the war time, the film is based on the present, depicting the life of several characters: a woman of Sudeten-German origin, a German man coming to the town as a sexual tourist, a Dutch man and a Vietnamese girl living in the town. The document presents Czech borderland and the stories of people living their own private lives, often unwilling to step out into the world at large.
