The Tailor from Ulm ("Der Scneider von Ulm") is the true story of the Bavarian Tailor Albrecht Berblinger (Tilo Puckner) who after a strange encounter with a balloon starts building a flying machine. Although not an engineer by profession, he never gives up. No matter how many obstacles are put in his way nor how many failures he endures, his ardour is never dampened. He continues with his dream to fly like a bird.

This magical and lyrical tale, beautifully shot by Dietrich Lohman and Martin Schaffer, is (visionary director of "Heimat") Edgar Reitz's most famous feature film

Available for the first time on DVD in the UK.
