The Patriotic Woman

Original title: Die Patriotin

“It is a mistake to think that the dead are somehow dead.”

Directed by Alexander Kluge

Gabi Teichert, a history teacher, is unhappy with the way history is portrayed in textbooks and is looking for an alternative, more practical approach to 'uncovering' the past, quite literally digging with the spade and dissecting books with hammers and drills.
