IMDB

Gerd Conradt's experimental documentary "Ein-Blick" from 1987 captures the rhythms of daily life along Elsenstraße's border in a time-lapse. Over the course of a day, a camera focuses on a house and watchtower within the border zone, snapping one image per second for twelve hours. What unfolds is a surreal ballet of reality, transforming into a slapstick grotesque, all set to the backdrop of evocative piano melodies.
