Today, Kolmannskuppe is one of the most impressive and mysterious ghost towns, located in the Namib Desert of Southwest Africa. Built between 1908 and 1914 in the middle of African no man's land, it was the centre of the shortest diamond fever of all time and grew in fast motion into one of the most luxurious and modern small towns in the world. Decadence, unprecedented wealth and bloody business conquered the desert. KOLMANNSKUPPE thematises the racist conflict, the brutal power of the German settlers and the oppression of the African people at the beginning of the 20th century inspired by a true story. The focus is on three protagonists of different origins, with unequal chances in their struggle to survive in Kolmannskuppe or to escape from there.
