A Brandenburger in Siberia
Ulf Siebach has always longed for untouched nature. Now he has found his paradise: The man from Brandenburg has emigrated to Siberia.
He lives in Russia with his wife Vita and their little daughter Paulina. Almost 6500 kilometres away from his hometown Beelitz. The rbb reporters accompany Ulf Siebach, who calls himself "Siberia Wolf", for a week in his new home. And in the season that everyone associates with this stretch of land - the Siberian winter. Ulf Siebach has leased an area of about 4 hectares in southern Siberia, where he wants to live and where he also wants to receive tourists. He is slaving away for it. He has already built a guest house, a banya and a wooden tippi. Ulf Siebach is celebrating his 50th birthday with new Russian friends. But there are also people he misses. Has he reached his goal? The round birthday is a time to take stock. The documentary also reports on life in Russia's villages. Ulf needs the support of the locals. Different views of work and life meet there. "You need tolerance and openness + you have to know exactly what you want and what is important to you," says Ulf Siebach. If there are problems, the untouched nature of the Siberian taiga compensates. A Brandenburger has arrived in Siberia.
