Sweep It Up, Swig It Down

Kroske, Gerd, (film director.). DEFA Film Library (Firm), (Distributor). Kanopy (Firm), (Distributor).

Summary: In October 1996, almost 10 years after meeting the three Leipzig street sweepers, director Gerd Kroske visited them again. In the meantime, they had given up their cleaning jobs and lost contact with each other. They struggle to get by, and their lives take place between their apartments, pubs and social welfare offices. Through parallel montage, the director brings his three protagonists together once again and establishes a connection between past and present through quotes from his 1990 documentary film Sweep It Up, exploring what happened to their fears and hopes. Part 2 of the long observation project known as the Sweep It Up trilogy.
