Supposedly innocent citizens from the middle of society who march with right-wing extremists, esotericists and conspiracy theorists against the corona measures, including entrepreneurs, single mothers, teachers, normal families. Michael Ballweg's "Querdenker" demos mobilize thousands of lateral thinkers from all walks of life and milieus who would otherwise not meet. What they have in common: the frustration, the anger and the hatred of the corona measures and the "elites" who have decreed them. Where does this frustration and anger come from in the rich southwest of Germany of all places? Why does a minority withdraw into their filter bubbles and ignore scientific facts? And why do they play such a big role in traditional and social media? The documentary accompanies participants and organizers at various corona demos, but also those affected who have experienced COVID-19 up close and have no understanding for these misguided extremists.

Former fighter of the Belarusian "death squad" Yuri Garavsky tells how he participated in the abduction and murder of Lukashenka's opponents 20 years ago. Then ex-Interior Minister Yuri Zakharenko, ex-head of the Central Election Commission Viktor Gonchar and businessman Anatoly Krasovsky, who supported the opposition, disappeared in Belarus. Garavsky claims that they were kidnapped and killed by the soldiers of the special rapid reaction unit (SOBR) of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus. Among them was Garavsky himself.
