Ruina / Germany / Markus Lenz / 2013/ 73min / OmeU

Ruina tells the story of a banking building in the center of Caracas, which had been closed due to bankruptcy. Now the large building is occupied and offers shelter to approximately 750 people. Ignored by the city administration and feared within the neighborhood, the residents of Torre Confinanzas are working on their own model of a socialist micro-society.
Filmmaker Markus Lenz shows more than a simple two-dimensional image. He dives deep into the lives of the residents and captures their alternative concept of life and work in his film. He sheds light on their work ethic, sense of duty and their sense of belonging, managing and o...rganizing.
