"To my mind language is the key to the human soul"; these were the words of German publicist and polyglot Georg Sauerwein (1831-1904) who applied his linguistic talents to the protection of minority languages, including Sorbian. This animated biographical film, partly set in the Spreewald, features a mass of references to Lusatia. (FilmFestival Cottbus - Festival des Osteuropäischen Films)
