Back to Nothing

A group of freaks subsist as city nomads in an off grid ghetto that is doomed for demolition. All hell breaks loose when their last hide out – a condemned factory complex – is to go under the wrecking ball. Kongo, Strasser, Bobby and Jackie are heading out – back to nothing. Zownir’s stark black and white imagery depicts an erratic, immoral shadow world without hope or mercy that forces his protagonists to the lowest level of survival. Photographer, author and filmmaker Miron Zownir’s second feature film, BACK TO NOTHING is a street ballad shot on abandoned, dilapidated locations in Berlin.
