Plot
To some it's the end of the world. To others, the gateway to a new life: the river Oder between Poland and Germany. It's a place where Ukrainian refugees beg and bargain for entry to the "Golden West" … A place where a hapless businessman loses everything he owns but gains something more important… Where a teen-aged cigarette smuggler defies his father and brother to free the girl he loves from a detention centre… Where an interpreter risks her career and her freedom to help an illegal refugee… And where an architect meets his former girlfriend and discovers that they've both changed too much to find common ground for a new start. At this crossroad between two worlds, where the law of the land is that of self-preservation, men and women struggle to maintain their dignity and their values as they are stripped to the raw core of their existence. Yet even in this often hostile climate, love and compassion blossom in the most unexpected ways. With tender realism and humanity, “Lichter” captures the lives of people seeking their footing in a world of moral ambiguity. “Lichter” was premiered at the International Berlin Film Festival in 2003 and won the German Film Award in Silver
