"Somewhere (A Place for Us)" lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
Published by bernie4444 , 9 months ago
There's a place for us,
Somewhere, a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open-air
Wait for us
Somewhere.
There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time to spare,
Time to look, time to care,
Someday!
Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere.
There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Someday,
Somewhere!

Now DEFA brings that reality to us in the form of a futuristic space movie. This story is surprisingly well portrayed given the budget and the era of production.
Should we even be exploring space? Some of our spaceships are missing. Are we up against some unknown force or a diabolical plot? Moreover, just who are the good guys and bad guys, if any?
Because Professor Oli Tal’s (Rolf Hoppe) daughter is among the missing, he goes in search of the answers. Yet it looks like he already knows something.
To add to the confusion or complexity, we have a long-distance love story between Daniel 'Dan' Lagny (Iwan Andonov) and Prof. Maria Scholl (Cox Habbema). Will love triumph, or is there a higher purpose?

I have to admit I cheated and watched with subtitles. However, after a while, I had to ignore them, as the English translation is not very accurate when an attempt was made to explain instead of translate. It may have been more useful if the subtitles were in German.
