Henners Traum

About This Movie

Henners Traum is a curious documentary that takes you through an ambitious urban development project in Hofgeismar, Germany, as envisioned by architect Tom Krause. You can feel the excitement in his voice, mixed with a bit of hubris, as he describes this venture that aims to rival places like Dubai. The pacing feels almost hypnotic, drawing you into a world where grand dreams collide with the reality of local life. It’s at once fascinating and slightly uncomfortable, as the film juxtaposes lofty ambitions against the backdrop of everyday existence. The cinematography captures both the starkness of the landscape and the opulence promised by those luxury hotels and villas. It’s a distinctive exploration of ambition and the implications of such projects on local communities.
