The water resources needed for this investment are insufficient and this deficit is a major problem and a cause of conflict with the inhabitants of a nearby village. When the workers have water in abundance, the taps of the locals are dry. The Bulgarian province is a far cry from German standards and most of those who come to work here look down on their neighbours and keep contact with them \u2013 apart from crude propositioning of local women \u2013 to a necessary minimum. With one exception: Meinhard who is his own man, tries successfully to make contact with the villagers, to get to know them and, despite the language barrier, seeks understanding. The main character in Valeska Grisebach&#8217;s film is curious about people and their stories, free of prejudice and open to others. But this attitude comes with consequences: his colleagues become suspicious of him and the local community does not treat him as a friend either.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Using Western conventions in a somewhat perverse way \u2013 the confrontation between civilisation and frontier settlements, natives and newcomers, a lone protagonist and an unfamiliar community \u2013 the director talks about present day conflicts, often imaginary prejudices and the difficulties in overcoming them. The film tries \u2013 as the critics of this year&#8217;s New Horizons Festival in Wroc\u0142aw wrote in awarding it the main prize \u2013 \u2018to describe the contemporary world, marked by fear of strangers and clashes of cultures; a world in which communication between people is rough, yet achievable.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4021","events","type-events","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Westerndirected by Valeska Grisebach | Literacki Sopot<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Westerndirected by Valeska Grisebach | Literacki Sopot\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"German workers are building a power plant near the Bulgarian-Greek border.
