This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Salmonberries is a 1991 German drama film directed by Percy Adlon and written by Adlon and his son Felix Adlon. It stars k.d. lang as Kotzebue, an orphaned Eskimo and young woman of androgynous appearance who works as a (male) miner in Alaska, and Rosel Zech as Roswitha, an East German exiled and widowed librarian. The film takes place in Kotzebue, Alaska and Berlin, Germany, shortly after reunification; the dialog is mostly English but includes some German with English subtitles.
The film's title takes its name from the endless jars of preserved berries that line the walls of Roswitha's bedroom.
Singer k.d. lang performs an evocative ballad, "Barefoot," in the film, it was co-written by k.d. lang and Bob Telson.
After lang had asked Adlon to direct a music video for her, ("So in Love" for the AIDS-benefit Red Hot + Blue compilation album) he wrote the script of "Salmonberries" especially for her.
