Bucht der Milliardäre

At Cap d'Antibes in the south of France, "Bay of Billionaires" is an official entry on the map. In the middle of the 19th century, the Cap was still untouched by civilization, after which British and Russian aristocrats arrived, acquired inexpensive land and built the first villas. Award-winning documentary filmmaker Lutz Hachmeister tells the story of the Cap d'Antibes and its rise to become a refuge for artists and industrial dynasties for the first time.

Directed by Lutz Hachmeister, Bucht der Milliardäre leans on a strong ensemble — Anke Reitzenstein, Patrick Winczewski, Klaus-Dieter Klebsch — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2006.
