The Soil, which connects us
In this movie Dmytro Dokunov and Richard Marx explore the question of the different realities which take play simultaneously, Richards in Berlin and Dmytro's at the frontline in Ukraine. How you have to change your own perception of reality? How the perception of your surounding will be changed too? The nature in which they live looks almost identical but war is fundamentally changing the view.

Richard Marx works and lives in Berlin. He started out in television as an EB assistant. After his training as a media designer in picture & sound, he worked for several years for NDR, MDR, RBB, ARD, BR, N24 and Pro7.
From 2009-2017 he studied cinematography at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (DFFB). This was followed by several film projects in Germany and abroad. For example, he made a 60-minute documentary about the GULAG in Russia and in 2013 his first full-length feature film with the Kyrgyz comedy "Talisman - ili stan svesdoi".
Meanwhile he passes on his experience as a lecturer for camera and film narration at the Berlin University of the Arts, the Protestant School of Journalism in Berlin and the University of Film Babelsberg.
