Begegnung mit Gojko

Synopsis

Documentary about the "chief Indian" of DEFA, the actor Gojko Mitić. The popular actor talks about his life. The camera accompanies him as he goes shopping in Berlin: we get to know a young, dynamic and extremely likeable man. The viewer learns interesting facts about his work at DEFA and Gojko's attitude towards the Indians he portrays in the film. In Romania, the main filming location for "Ulzana", test shots were made which show that Gojko does not allow himself to be doubled and how hard he has to train for it. The film ends with the summer film festival in Schkölen, the subsequent sporting activities and conversations with young pioneers. Afterwards, Gojko barbecues for the children before picking up his guitar to sing with the Young Pioneers around the campfire.
