Three Leipzig skinheads – the portrait of a “lost generation” caught between left-wing and right-wing ideologies, violence and resignation. Plus an appearance by the legendary real estate tycoon Jürgen Schneider.
Taking stock after five years of German unification: settling down to routines. Nostalgia and disenchantment, the struggle for survival and a revolution ending up on the couch.
The events of 9 October 1989, the “miracle of Leipzig”, filmed and reflected directly from the participants’ perspective. The document of reunification par excellence.
Leipzig, December 1989 to December 1990. Insecurity, bitterness, anxiety, irony and gallows humour, everyday life and the last dance on a sinking ship. The revolution becomes a carnival.
