3. Die Zweite Heimat - a word by Edgar Reitz
Whereas HEIMAT described childhood, the small town and family life, we will now tell the story of growing up, of life in the big city, of friendship and love.
As I started to shoot HEIMAT at the end of the Seventies, I had to make a weighty decision: The people who lived in our "film town" Schabbach were plagued by a yearning for faraway places, and some of them left their town and never came back again during their lifetimes. As the storyteller, I had to decide at that time whether I should accompagny those who had left, or wether I should, shall we say, stay in town, and continue to tell the story of those who had stayed there. I chose the second version. And so the image came about of a community in a small town, of a family bond, of a world which can only still function in childhood. Home is always something "lost", a longing which never allows itself to be satisfied. You are dissappointed when you want to return to it.

In 1984, the director of this extraordinarily long film (25+ hours) released a similarly long film, Heimat, which was a mere 15 hours long. Both of them are essentially television miniseries that have been edited for festival viewing into one enormously long film. In this sequel, Die Zweite Heimat follows the lives of a group of young people in Munich in the 1960s and '70s. The main character is a musician from the first film who has been forced to leave his small hometown in order to study music composition in Munich. The circumstances of his move have made him somewhat bitter. He gradually becomes involved in his new life among the musicians and budding filmmakers of the city, and the stories spin out from there, as each character ages and adapts to life's changes.
