Verão de 1989, Alemanha Oriental. Adam trabalha como alfaiate, Evelyn como garçonete. Eles estão planejando férias juntos quando Evelyn descobre que Adam a está traindo e decide sair de férias sozinha. Ela viaja para a Hungria, seguida por Adam. Assim que a fronteira com a Áustria cai, tudo muda na Hungria. As fronteiras estão abertas, como novas possibilidades para Adam e Evelyn decidirem em que mundo - oriental ou ocidental - querem construir uma vida feliz.
A completely black background and, before it, a microphone; during this film a total of ten women and men will step up to this microphone. In December 2011, Berlin venue Haus der Kulturen der Welt held a symposium on the topic of the current state of our democracy. The speakers’ appraisal is shocking: the Euro crisis and so-called best alternative to ‘save the markets’ means that the poker game over our common currency has taken precedence over visionary politics and institutions and parliamentarians are reduced to playing extras in a hectic race against time. Professing themselves to being at the mercy of practical constraints, politicians are at the same time using this line of argument to legitimise the dismantling of justice, freedom and solidarity.
