"A life next door" shows bizarre and adventurous living environments.
What drives people to flee, how do they set up their new lives and how big is the difference between them and us "normal citizens"?
What fascination do the different subcultures exert? Because apparently they offer something that the "real" world cannot offer people.
A festival in the middle of nowhere, surgeons in musketeer outfits, a spiritual community with underground places of worship, silicone implants and meat hooks, a principality the size of a handball court: these are all lives apart.
The Best of episode takes a look back at five very different lifestyles that are lived in parallel to everyday life or even replace it.
Once again we show highlights such as the suspension event of the Bodymoder from Hattingen or the princely family of Sealand, we see the Burning Man in the Nevada desert once again go up in flames, meet Saxon miners and Damanhurians.
"Five Lives Apart" shows the fascination of these very different parallel worlds in concentrated form. First broadcast: Friday, August 19, 2011, 10:35 p.m., ZDF.Kultur
