These days, such topics as world peace, armament and disarmament have become timeworn, rendering the pictures seen on television and in newspapers commonplace. Fully aware of this fact, I set out - not without zeal - to bring forward once again the well-worn images of the summit talks between Reagan and Gorbachev in Geneva.
The film is a reproduction of the days during the summit and rendered, in fact, as exactly as possible as the images, still wonderfully vivid, had been engraved into my memory. I gathered the pictures for the film, on the one hand, as an onlooker in Geneva and, on the other hand, by processing the old television footage.
