An opulent cinematic journey through one of the world's most beautiful countries. From the icy, snowy world of the high mountains with their mighty glaciers, thunderous waterfalls, and raging mountain streams; through the last primeval forests to the warm steppe lake, this documentary follows the trail of water--the element that has shaped this country's diverse nature like no other. Water is not only the basis of all life, it has also given Austria some of Europe's most spectacular natural wonders. In deep forests, ducklings jump from tall trees to learn how to swim; in inaccessible gorges a prototype of trout has survived; and in raging wild rivers, the world's oldest vertebrate has survived for millions of years. All this is captured in intoxicating images that bring the audience at home up close to the experience of nature and wildlife.

"A five-part series directed by (TV) historian Guido Knopp about the story of millions of Germans who had to flee from the approaching Red Army under the worst conditions at the end of the war or were expelled. More than 1000 contemporary and eyewitnesses were interviewed - including Russians, Poles and Czechs. Research in the former Eastern Bloc countries and insight into previously closed archives have accompanied this documentary series, which sets a sign against forgetting and every expulsion. The memory of the dramatic events begins in East Prussia. The "Vistula Spit" - a narrow strip of land off the Baltic coast southwest of Königsberg. In the freezing winter of 1945, the first act in the drama of the great escape of the Germans from the East took place here, amid dunes and pine forests. For over two million East Prussians, the narrow Spit Road was the last "way out" to the West after the Red Army had encircled the country in January 1945. For many, it was a departure of no return or to their deaths. Hundreds of thousands perished. The Soviets' major offensive was predictable. But Hitler strictly refused an evacuation - in order not to have to admit the imminent defeat. So most of them left only when the dull rumble of the front could already be heard."
