West Berlin, summer 1968: the attitude to life at the time through the eyes of (at least) three different quartets: the anarchic bards of "Insterburg & Co." wander through the backyards of Kreuzberg, passing the time with silly poems, homemade instruments and their playmates. The lively Jacob Sisters and their four poodles make guest appearances as international show stars in the luxury hotels. And postcard Berlin is presented by four oil sheikhs who are on a state visit.

A man returns every year to visit his estranged family and friends in this drama dripping with biting social commentary. His 40-year-old buddies are part of the nouveau riche who consider themselves elite and are content to sandbag it at work. Teutonic sentimentality is lampooned, and the narrow minded are held up to ridicule. Some fine performances outweigh the passages of unintentional humor in this second film from director Ulrich Schamoni.

In March 1998 director and producer Ulrich Schamoni – who was dying of leukaemia at the time – documented life in his house in Berlin’s Grunewald district. Schamoni kept on filming until just a few days before his death. The result was a moving and colourful chronicle amounting to a total of 170 hours of tape. Interspersing a selection of these images with excerpts from Schamoni’s films such as "Es" and "Chapeau Claque", Schamoni’s photographer daughter Ulrike Schamoni and editor Grete Jentzen have created a loving tribute to a generous and multifaceted man.
