AN ESSAY FILM

IN SEARCH OF A LOST UTOPIA
AN ESSAY FILM BY KONSTANTIN FERSTL
-
Communism is dead. Long live capitalism!
After the infamous "end of history" we grew up in
the era of market-compliant democracy.
We learned to meet our offended dreams with irony.
And we took in the credo of our time: "Live, but without ideas."
Is that truly all there is?
​
​
A requiem for a century and a journey around the world:
From Fidel Castro's funeral to the forgotten revolutions of the
Lacandon rainforest and the fossilized theocracy in North Korea.
Through vanished countries. From the Habsburg Empire to Alain Badiou.
An essay film in search of the insulted dreams of the 20th century.

"IT SEEMS COMMON SENSE TODAY,
THAT COMMUNISM IS IMPOSSIBLE.
THAT'S WHAT I CALL THE SUBJECTIVE
VICTORY OF CAPITALISM."
