… ned, tassot, yossot …

What happened to the North Korean soccer players Ri Jong Hi, Ra Mi Ae, Jin Pyol Hi and Ri Hyang Ok? The sequel to Hana, dul, sed ... was mainly made during a filming trip to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in 2012, during which Weich and her team were able to visit the protagonists in Pyongyang and present the first film at an official screening. Once again, several levels are combined in a fascinating way, which is also helped by the basis of trust that has developed: On the one hand, the four (former) professional athletes talk about their lives and the conditions in North Korea; on the other hand, there are amazing insights into everyday life there, for example in uncensored images of the trips through Pyongyang (thanks to the GoPro camera attached to the filming bus). The parallel story about a North Korean TV series, which also tells of the soccer successes of the women's national team, is also particularly remarkable - but quite different from Weich's long-term documentary double.
