Festival history
In the small village Viscri/Deutschweisskirch, in the middle of Transylvania (Romania), all women are knitting socks. A german musician sells the socks to Germany, to Austria and to other countries. And he also enjoys living in Viscri. He teaches to Viscri-children German, he plays piano and sings about the beauty of the Romanian language and last but not least, he organizes the sock-export. Slowly by slowly all the village became a sock-factory. This documentary is a portrait of a very special village, isolated in a beautiful landscape but still full of life.
