"Dearest Dziodzio" was filmed using quotes from letters Rosa Luxemburg wrote to her lover, the revolutionary labor leader Leo Jogiches, during her stays in Poland, Germany, France and Switzerland in the years 1893-1905. With historical photo and film montages, mixed with newly shot material, the film tries to give an insight into the life problems, the thoughts and feelings of Rosa Luxemburg. The film is enriched by the recordings of the original letters, which are read out by the director, as well as by drawings, watercolors and herbaria by Rosa Luxemburg.

A polemical report. "Way to the neighbors" is the motto of the Oberhausen Short Film Festival. In their "Remarks on the Oberhausen 66 Film Festival," the GDR documentarians Gerhard Scheumann and Walter Heynowski take the competition selection to task: They see formal experiments as "excesses on the big screen" and instead of political themes, they discover a "surge of perversity." After her own film "Kommando 52" was rejected by the festival, a criminal complaint by the GDR lawyer Friedrich-Karl Kaul against the mercenary and commander "Kongo-Müller" is the focus of a press conference. The refusal of a cinema owner to show the film was a "hint from the neighbors", the neighboring public order office, and therefore state censorship in the Federal Republic of Germany.
