And the Oscar goes to.....

It was in St. Petersburg 13th of February 2007, the whole airport was covered in snow a black Volga picked me up and brought me to"my babushka" driving through the big alleys, moskovskian Prospect being one of them. Everyone is covered in warm thick jackets, the young ladies would not even think about giving up their elegance just because of some metres of snow. In Other words a high heel is dressing every second female foot.

It was the first time that I set ground on russian territorry, a decision my heart will never regret and it was in this night that I made a first relationship with the OSCAR Nominations.

When you opened the heavy iron door after having inserted a pin you had to open another door with two keys. Running upstairs one could already smell the good old onions - which in no russian meal ever lacks.

My babuschka and her daughter were watching the Oscar and in the moment I entered into the kitchen parts of The life of the others (Das Leben der Anderen) could be seen. My heart started to beat faster, a strange feeling climbed up my throught.

It was a fantastic movie that I had seen 2 days before I left home, together with my mother, directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. No words can explain the movie, it is a must, playing during DDR times in East Germany. Directed with so much thought and with consideration of little detail that one could watch it another 3 times in a row and would still find out more things, which were unseen before.

The Sonate about the good human being. This movie deserved an Oscar, that is for sure. And it was in this night, the second one in this new foreign country that I built a relationship with the Oscars. The nomination of this Movie , "my movie", "my german movie" that I climbed up a ladder from the lonelyness in russia to the feeling of security and love at home, which was given by this unique movie and its nomination.
