A life alongside

Middle Ages

"A life next door" shows bizarre and adventurous living environments.
What drives people to flee, how do they set up their new lives and how big is the difference between them and us "normal citizens"?
What fascination do the different subcultures exert? Because apparently they offer something that the "real" world cannot offer people.

There are people for whom another time was better.
The second episode of "Ein Leben daneben" travels to two medieval markets and discovers a different world.
A world in which people fought for honor, fought on horseback, cooked on the fire and hammered in the forge.
The film accompanies a doctor and his two surgical nurses as musketeers, Lord and Lady McColgan, who dream of the Scottish Highlands, the riders of the "Die Rosserer" association and a Saxon mining family in their lives next door.

First broadcast: Friday, August 05, 2011, 10:30 p.m., ZDF.Kultur.
