The documentary film “In Search of Christmas” follows the narrative tradition of author-based essay films in a cinematic style, balanced with humor and an entertaining discovery of the traditions of my second homeland. Living in Germany for over 20 years, now with kids of my own, the film is an outside perspective of how parents ultimately embrace the German Christmas — or not. In this way, it is a continuation of my previous documentary film “Beerland” (BR/Global Screen) constant search for understanding and “adapting” German culture with a magnifying glass, dealing with questions which a typical foreigner might have, but is not sure how to ask.
