The film "Fluchten" by Ricarda Roggan is a personal review of the years 2000–02. In a dense montage from private archive material, spoken and written text, the author remembers seemingly endless waiting times in office corridors. While staring at the oil paint on the wall – typical for the countries of the former “Eastern Bloc” – she watches as times, places and systems slowly shift before ultimately dissolving in an unexpected turn.
