Germany, Summer 2006 – a sea of black, red and gold. The 2006 Soccer World Cup changed the way Germans perceived their own country. What is left over half a year later? Florian Thalhofer and Juliane Henrich traveled 2562 km all over Germany to talk to people that still have a German flag outside their houses. They met astonishing people with all kinds of different German accents. (English subtitles by Anja Tachler and Wenzel Bilger)

The Korsakow-Film "Forgotten Flags" was originally presented by the Goethe-Institute as part of the Odysseus Project.

[Forgotten Flags] was published on DVD-Rom by Mediamatic, Amsterdam. It comes with a bonus track: [small world] - Florian Thalhofer's first nonlinear photo-film, about what it is like to grow up in a small town.
