Дивный летний день. Садовая терраса с видом на Париж. Под сенью деревьев двое ведут откровенную беседу, делясь воспоминаниями. Но у этого доверительного разговора есть свидетель. Это писатель, который со стороны наблюдает за парой. Он пишет книгу, то ли подслушивая героев, то ли их воображая…

Taking place at the Concentration camp Buchenwald at the end of March 1945, prisoner Hans Pippig discovers in a carrying case of an incoming prisoner a Jewish child.

The film tells the story of Martin S., his return to Dresden, which he left more than 20 years ago. He discovered some film materials of his own that he shot in 1988, and came upon his files held by the State Security where there was information given by a person which contained details that could only be known by his then first love. So begins his search and questioning about his memories and testing believed reality.

In no less than 180 minutes the film showed frenzied dashes of wild colors and idyllic natural images, of wonderful music and powerful lyricism, which, among others was flawlessly recited by star actors such as Corinna Harfouch, Angela Winkler and Ulrich Matthes. The work treats of the consciousness-defining echoing thunder of modern rock music, of the rock inscriptions of the ancient Egyptians, of the Merseburg magic spells, the author’s childhood impressions, in the latter’s homeland in the forests of the Upper Palatinate, and the ghosts of the Nazi era, who today continue to haunt us in the most vivid manner.

Фильм основан на реальной истории Бенджамина Прюфера и Срейкау Солван. Впервые эта история была опубликована Бенджамином Прюфером как автобиографическая заметка в журнале. Интерес читателей заставил его пойти дальше и написать роман. Как только книгу прочитал режиссер фильма Детлеву Буку, он сразу понял, что именно этот материал он и искал. История любви на контрастах двух стран: Камбоджи и Германии, между Срейкау, 21-летняя официантка в баре из Пномпеня и Бена, молодого немецкого студента, приехавшего в Камбоджу на летние каникулы. Когда Бен возвращается домой, в Германию он узнает, что Срейкау ВИЧ инфицированная, и он берет на себя ответственность за ее дальнейшую судьбу. Далее последовала борьба с самим собой, с разницами в культурах и самое страшное — борьба с ВИЧ-инфекцией.

This German political drama from iconoclastic filmmaker Herbert Achternbusch takes a slightly askew look at neo-Nazis and the Holocaust. His non-story (a typical trait of Achternbusch films) is divided into three parts. The first introduces Hades, an eccentric half-Jewish coffin maker. Also introduced are the women in his life. The second part depicts different scenes from the city's Jewish ghetto. Included are disturbing film clips from Nazi propaganda footage that shows the naked corpses of starved Jews piled up in the streets with the insinuation that the heartless relatives of the dead would unceremoniously toss them out when they expired. In the third part, Hades is buried at sea. In between, neo-Nazis march unopposed in Munich, Hades battles skinheads, and Hades' shop is repeatedly vandalized. A scene where Hades is fascinated with death is also seen.
