Neues Land

In Neues Land, geologist Ina Sedlitz returns to her home village of Neukirch after many years. This town, once a brown coal mining area, has transformed into a popular tourist destination. Ina's primary goal is to transfer her family hotel to her niece Mara and move on from her past.

However, her plans take a turn when she is tasked with preparing a geological report for a man-made lake. During her investigation, Ina uncovers dangerous instabilities and the remnants of a long-buried family secret. The film’s exploration of personal history and its impact on the present adds depth to its drama.

With a cast that includes Jördis Triebel, Jörg Schüttauf, and Ronald Zehrfeld, Neues Land presents a nuanced look at family dynamics and the complexities of returning home. Its focus on a woman's perspective in a male-dominated field adds another layer to the narrative, appealing to viewers interested in stories about resilience and truth.
