Synopsis
Young Nicola leaves his hometown of Palermo, Sicily, with its bad economy and high unemployment, for a better life in Wolfsburg, Germany. He lands a good job at the VW plant, but without the support of his family and community, he struggles to integrate into German society. Nicola falls for a pretty local girl, but happiness eludes him as he becomes entangled in a situation that quickly spins out of control.
Winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival, Werner Schroeter’s film offers Nicola’s story in three parts—like an opera—with each section boasting a different visual style. A classic of the New German Cinema, PALERMO OR WOLFSBURG recalls the best of Fassbinder and Farocki.
