Im beschaulichen Glottertal und im Hüsli, dem Haus von Familie Brinkmann, herrscht fröhliches Treiben, denn ein großer Tag steht bevor: Dr. Benjamin Brinkmann und Sophie Schwarz, ebenfalls Ärztin, werden heiraten. Zum Polterabend reisen natürlich die Eltern, Klaus und Christa Brinkmann aus Freiburg an, die noch nicht ahnen, dass Benjamin alle alten Kollegen der „Schwarzwaldklinik“ zum Poltern eingeladen hat. Das soll die Überraschung des Tages werden. Eingeweiht ist nur Carsta, die ehemalige Haushälterin der Brinkmanns, die noch einmal einspringt. Benjamin Brinkmann ist in die Fußstapfen seines Vaters getreten und arbeitet als Assistenzarzt in der „Schwarzwaldklinik“. Kein leichtes Erbe, wie er täglich feststellen muss. Denn für Benjamin stehen, wie früher bei seinem Vater, die Patienten mit ihren Ängsten und Nöten im Mittelpunkt seiner Arbeit. Eine Einstellung, die nicht immer mit der der Klinikführung, die unter dem Druck der Einsparungen steht, in Einklang zu bringen ist.

With Reconversão (Reconversion), Thom Andersen opens another fascinating chapter of his ongoing investigation of architectural landscapes, their filmic representation, and their relation to history, by focusing on 17 buildings and projects by the often-controversial Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto de Moura—winner of the 2011 Pritzker Prize. Echoing Dziga Vertov’s concepts and Eadweard Muybridge’s techniques (shooting only one or two frames per second), Andersen masterfully brings forward what makes Souto de Moura an original: the incorporation of the passing of time into architectural designs, positing them within a history fraught with class struggle and societal changes, in a continuum with ruins—from which they may originate, and to which they will return—and with nature—which they frame, and by which they are framed.
