"Warsaw - A City on the Road" - Description
A documentary made for the German television SFB1. Its characters - among which are Germans living in Warsaw - talk about their favorite places in Warsaw and the city’s soul.
Tadeusz Sobolewski - journalist, film critic
The Palace of Culture and Science was a gift from Soviet Russia for Warsaw. By many it is treated as a relict of a former regime, a symbol of the Russian dominancy, but for my generation the Palace of Culture is something entirely different, it is a sentimental object.
Claudia Müller - European Commission office worker
Getting to know other culture is very entertaining and exciting. It seems that we are dealing here with a mixture of post-communism, capitalism and Catholicism. It is amazing to live in such place.
Dr. Witold Zińczuk - philosopher, owner of a city cleaning company
I came here in 1992 willing to make good business. I have studied philosophy beforehand and have lectured on that subject for 10 years on various universities. The business has turned out to be a success and there was no way out.
Paweł Piskorski - president of Warsaw
I’m among those citizens of Warsaw who are deep-rooted into this city. My family originally comes from here and my whole life has been connected with Warsaw and different special places in our city.
Reinhard Copenrath - architect
It is obvious that Warsaw does have soul... Warsaw is not necessarily a beautiful city, but true love does not grow because of the beauty, it grows because of the soul you love.
