In Heaven, Underground

IN HEAVEN, UNDERGROUND
Germany, 2011, 95 minutes
Director: Britta Wauer
In the north of Berlin, covered with a primeval forest of trees, rhododendron and ivy, is the Weissensee Jewish Cemetery of Berlin. Created in 1880, neither the cemetery nor its archives have ever been destroyed; it is a paradise for gatherers of stories. In Heaven, Underground creates a serene experience following a delightful array of characters from around the world: mourners, tourists, a young family residing at the cemetery, a third-generation gravedigger and an ornithologist studying rare birds of prey.

June Eilers came to the Salton Sea when her father opened the Date Palm Beach Resort in the Roaring Twenties. From summer swimming to a backdrop for meeting her future husband, the Salton Sea has provided June with a lifetime of priceless memories. As the sea slowly begins to dry up, she reflects on the importance of nature and enjoying the outdoors.
