zu unseren füßen, das gold, aus dem boden verschwunden

In an apartment house in Berlin: an old drunkard, a lesbian couple, a refugee, a depressed woman and her ex-husband. In this constellation fundamental questions arise. Gentrification, our interaction with strangers – people we don't understand because of culture, origin or even just misunderstandings are boiling to the surface.
