The film takes us behind the torn facades of Leipzig's eastern district. Over a period of three years, filmmaker Birk Poßecker has portrayed a neighborhood characterized by contrasts, authentic stories, and personalities. Fragile snapshots accompanied by a trashy-romantic VHS vibe. This documentary flickers with its blurred lines between yesterday and today, raising the ever-present conflicts in trendy neighborhoods: displacement, inequality, and racism. The whole thing is carried by the peculiar charm of its residents and the ruinous beauty of eastern Leipzig. Whether it's autonomous squatters, dynamic seniors in the middle of a gun-free zone, or the Persian carpet shop—everyone somehow finds their place here. And this documentary wishes with every single frame that it should stay that way.

The film visits places that inspired him, such as Paris, the villages around Weimar and, above all, the Baltic coast - many of which are reflected in Feininger's work and make the development of his oeuvre comprehensible.
