Sondern erlöse uns von dem Bösen

Running time: 1992 | 27' | GER

East Germany was, is and remains an overwhelmingly pagan area. After 1990, a television station tried to recruit seven famous East German authors to get intellectually closer to the pleas of the Lord's Prayer. Jörg Foth portrayed the author Helga Schubert while reading the text she had prepared. The picture is complemented by the views outside the window and the surrounding area. The resulting film hybrid is called by Foth a television prayer.
