Cows With No Name is almost a diary, filmed one day at a time, of each stage of this process, documenting the operation of the farm with critical and incisive humour. But it is also an intimate documentary. By filming scenes of daily life on the family farm, around the kitchen table during meals, or in front of the TV in the evening while everyone falls asleep on the sofa, more personal questions are raised: the farmer’s connection to his herd, or even the handover that Hubert has chosen not to ensure.

In 1983, in Berlin, an American member of the secret service puts himself at the service of the GDR. This fascinating documentary tells the story of his life as a "passer-murailles".

At the time, he was working in Berlin for the NSA (National Security Agency), which intercepts Soviet airspace communications.

One night of drinking, the young man crosses the demarcation line at Checkpoint Charlie with the aim of never returning...
