In Europa
"Film director Roel van Broekhoven and historian Geert Mak take us on a grand tour through 20th century Europe. By train, car and boat, they literally flow the tracks of time, through the century, through the continent; starting off in fin de siecle Vienna, past Madrid and Volgograd, the bunkers of Berlin, the toy-cars left behind by the children of Chernobyl, ending at the ruins of Sarajevo. They show beautiful archive material and listen to the experiences of witnesses: writers and politicians, a farmer in the Pyrenees, the grandson of the German Emperor, dozens of ordinary people whose lives have been influenced by the larger historical events."
