Canada's Coasts

On the east coast of Canada lies the small town of Lunenburg, which was founded in 1753 by North German immigrants. Today, the idyllic town with its many wooden houses is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This documentary accompanies the inhabitants in all seasons and tells the story of the region's development from a prosperous center of fishing and wooden shipbuilding to a bustling jewel with a rich tradition and a high quality of life after many years of decline.
