Designed as an exciting hybrid between documentary and fiction, this film offers a special look at the nuclear resistance in Gorleben in the years 1981-1985 in Germany. A fictional acceptance researcher tries to mediate between the fronts of the anti-nuclear movement and the police. With his sociological lectures, the committed scientist often contrasts the political utopia of the opponents of nuclear power with the given political reality in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Exciting ironic-self-critical nuances in the documentary material, which shows the turbulent events in the Wendland in the 1980s.

In May 1980, more than 800 people lived for 33 days near Gorleben in the protest camp ‚Free Republic of Wendland‘ and thus prevented for a short time drilling for the planned nuclear waste repository in the nearby salt dome.

In the spring of 1980, anti-nuclear activists occupied a drilling site near Gorleben and set up a "village of peace" there, consisting of homemade wooden houses and tents. The 33-day occupation was accompanied by discussions, concerts, and theater performances—and by the Wendland Film Cooperative, which documented the anti-nuclear movement from the very beginning. The "Free Republic of Wendland" was a dream that came true for a short time before several thousand police officers cleared the site. In addition to the construction and clearance, the film also shows what is at risk: the untouched landscape and the people who live there.

The last film footage of Günther Anders, who died in December 1992, consists of a conversation with him about his "career," his position on nuclear power, and his reflections on violence and resistance. The film is intended as a document; only sentences or individual words spoken by the philosopher Anders are repeated, preceded by intertitles, "underlined," and placed in a different context than Anders intended. It is about reflecting on our possible range of actions.

Planetary escape: Earth is ruined and must be abandoned. An elite group is being trained to move out and conquer a new, better world.
