“We don’t hate you for wanting us gone.”
What does it actually feel like to grow up in one of the largest contiguous concrete foundations in Europe – the Ihme-Zentrum in Hanover? "Concrete Block 2000" tells the stories of young people for whom this building, once conceived as a utopian urban concept, represents social inequality and reality. Between poverty and gentrification, the search for opportunities and the flight forward (wherever that may be), the young people look at the block and see: parents who are trying. Friendships. A crumbling foundation. But above all: a home.
