Nils Lovelorn, blessed with a present ego and a "second self" in the form of a well-rounded super blonde called Bebe, is sent back in time by time machine. There he is to blow out the lights of a pharaoh who, 3000 years later, threatens the world with destruction as a demon. Unfortunately, his feminine second half occasionally gains the upper hand and, to make matters worse, falls in love with the blood-sucking, evil pharaoh.

Founded in 1954 as the “Deutsche Hochschule für Filmkunst”, today's “Hochschule für Film und Fernsehen” is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The documentary traces the history of the university. Graduates of the school have their say and excerpts of student films from five decades are presented.

The history of the GDR Super-8 scene—an underground art movement that produced films outside official channels in the 1980s—produced by Cornelia Klauss, herself a Super-8 artist. The Stasi (secret police) monitored this rebellious scene closely. Female artists Ramona Köppel-Welsch, Cornelia Schleime and Christine Schlegel, among others, talk about their art and films, their experiences as artists in the GDR, and how their work changed after the Wall came down.
