DOCUMENTARY
Wir leben ewig
We Will Live Forever
We Will Live Forever is the search for traces of destroyed Jewish culture of Wilna. While the gentile Viennese band 'gojim'
looks for the musical traces of this extinguished culture, we get a very personal view of the era through the eyes of three
witnesses of this time. On behalf of the many who can no longer speak, they tell stories about childhood, youth and resistance
in and around the ghetto of Wilna.
The old songs, originated in the ghetto of Wilna, are played once again, only this time by 'gojim'. These songs are not only
the joining force in this film, they are also the medium through which a gentile music group explores and learns about this
destroyed Jewish culture.
When the witnesses of that culture hear 'their' songs after such a long time - this time sung by Austrians and Germans - personal
history comes alive again. A dialogue spanning generations and cultures arises. A dialogue between human beings who have touched
one another.
