Auch nach 42 Stunden Film bleibt die Heimat: eine Sehnsucht. [G] And so, after 42 hours of film, heimat is still - a yearning.

Heimat, so schrieb Ernst Bloch, ist etwas, "das allen in die Kindheit scheint und worin noch niemand war". Ein Ort also, den es nicht gibt: eine Sehnsucht. [G] Heimat, wrote Ernst Bloch, is something "which shines into the childhood of all and in which no-one has yet been." Hence a place which does not exist: a yearning.

Und doch will sich am Ende trotz aller Tragikomik und Zerrissenheit der Verhältnisse, der Figuren so etwas wie die Sehnsucht nach Einvernehmen oder wenigstens Duldung einstellen. [G] And yet, at the end, despite all the tragicomedy and turmoil the characters and their relationships have to go through, something like a yearning for harmony, or at least toleration, appears to be taking hold.
