“Hörnum is the GDR of Sylt!” - this statement by comedian Karl Dall has etched itself into the minds of the people of Hörnum. Hörnum is no typical Sylt village and has nothing in common with Keitum, Kampen or Westerland. Hörnum has little to offer for tourists – no wellness institutions, no shopping area for spells of bad weather and no luxury hotels or gourmet restaurants as the other villages have to attract prominent guests. But following years of waiting in vain for cash-laden investors, the year 2005 brings the surprising turn: suddenly two ambitious major tourist projects by financially strong agents become public and the people of Hörnum curiously yet suspiciously eye the new developments laid upon them from the outside. The long-term documentary began in 2005 and accompanied the development of the South of Sylt, centring on the people of Hörnum and their hopes and fears; their reactions to what other people are planning with their village. An image of the village in its entirety and of the changes taking place within the village microcosm is successively put together from little mosaic fragments.
