We'll be Keeping On offers a fascinating glimpse into the everyday life of the Schütze family, who run a greengrocer's shop in Eastern Germany. It unfolds over a decade, capturing the subtle shifts in their world post-reunification. Ettlich's documentary has this almost quiet intimacy, the camera lingers on mundane moments, reflecting the family's resilience and adaptability. The pacing is unhurried, allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere—there's a certain nostalgia that permeates the film. It's not just about a shop; it’s about the evolving identity of a family in a changing society. The authenticity of their performances feels almost like a home video, yet it’s steeped in historical significance, making it distinctive in the realm of documentary filmmaking.
