Memories of my grandfather - World War II in the Westerwald

My grandfather was born in 1930 in the Westerwald. After the war he lived in Argentina for 16 years, but eventually returned to his home village. I asked him to tell me about his childhood, which shaped him so much.

Director Biography - Matias Luge

Born in 1990 in Neuquén, Argentina, I studied biochemistry in Tübingen (Germany) for three years. But my continuously growing passion for film in general led to the decision to leave the field of science entirely.

After directing and editing several magazine reports at the Tübingen HD Campus channel, I moved to Munich for an internship in 2014.

Now I work as the production manager of the Naumann Film GmbH, where I supervised the shooting of numerous advertising films (including for Lufthansa Cargo, MAN Truck & Bus, LG and Knorr-Bremse).
