Pioneering German filmmaker Edgar Reitz follows up his groundbreaking Heimat: A Chronicle of Germany with the astonishing 13-episode, 25-hour saga HEIMAT 2: CHRONICLE OF A GENERATION.

Beginning in the year 1960, HEIMAT 2 follows Hermann Simon, who leaves his village of Schabbach to settle in Munich. Over the next ten years, Hermann becomes a talented musician, falls in love with an enigmatic cellist, struggles as an acclaimed avant-garde musician, and marries the girl next door. As in the original HEIMAT, this deeply personal tale is set against a backdrop of turbulent historical times-the decade of the Sixties in this case. Hermann, like many young Germans, is shaped by the political turmoil of the era, influenced by the artistic explosion in Munich, and bewildered by the aftermath of such a tumultuous decade.

Epic yet intimate, entertaining yet bittersweet, HEIMAT 2 offers a riveting portrait of a generation caught up in the most amazing decade of the twentieth century.
