The Song of Others
A film by Vadim Jendreyko
Synopsis
Is it inevitable that history, with all its nightmares, endlessly repeats itself?
Having grown up in a time when a sense of new beginnings characterized many European countries, when old patterns seemed to be overcome and national borders were being dismantled, the author is confronted with this existential question.
He embarks on a cinematic journey, following the traces of old fissures across Europe.
The encounters along the way lead him deeper and deeper into the question of our dealings with history and memory. And they enable him to recognize patterns that are passed down from generation to generation and in which we as a society seem to be trapped. He meets people whose goals, in both thought and action, extend beyond short-term utilitarian thinking.
In “The Song of Others – A Search for Europe”, these encounters form a chorus that points to ways outside the recurring nightmares that have shaped this continent for centuries.
