Gerhard Ziegler

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.

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.
