| Frank Schröder only
wants to do the right thing! His birthplace Tauchritz needs a man
like him – he reckons. An enormous artificial tropical paradise
is to be built on the nomansland of the German-Polish-Czech border.
In Tauchritz, for Tauchritz, but not only for Tauchritz. The ”Magic
Lagoon” will get the run-down region up on its feet again –
of that Schröder is sure. He dreams of cross-border co-operation.
He dreams that globalisation, in the shape of his project, will be
able to |
|
bring sometime enemies together as friends. He sells this vision
to his boss (of Russian descent), the American investor, John Gregory.
”Freedom and Prosperity” are the magic words. However,
to his astonishment, Schröder is obliged to recognise that
open borders don’t necessarily lead to open minds.
