Schelmo brother! A movie about the Schelmengraben

The documentary "Schelmo Bruder" shows life in Wiesbaden's Schelmengraben district and provides authentic insights into the challenges and stories of the residents.

Ein rotes großes Hochhaus
Schelmo Brunder

Personal portraits and interviews, including with the GWH housing association, make the local social reality tangible. The central theme of the documentary is the tour through the empty shopping arcade, in which Shervin (27) shows which stores used to be there. Accompanied by music by local artist Maras (26), who is also part of the documentary, a multi-layered picture of the district emerges. The documentary also sees itself as a call for more visibility, a new togetherness and the revitalization of the shopping arcade.
