Three famous jazz musicians, the German Jochim Kühm, the Moroccan Majid Bekkas, the Spanish Ramon Lopez, realize a long-term dream: One month of free time together in Morocco, time for music, for encounters, for a new CD. They rent a small studio in Rabat and invite guest musicians. They travel to the desert to meet a legendary group of native drummers, to play with them and make recordings. In between excursions into the everyday life of Morocco, computer crashes, and little crises. A film about improvised music and the work on it, a film about encounters of different cultures, a film about understanding and not understanding. Where do you come from, where do you go to?

In eight parts, Alphons S. tells the story of his life as a child and teenage miner in the Ruhr region, as a vagrant traveling across Germany in the 1920s, as a farm worker on estates in Mecklenburg, as an anarchist and left-wing socialist—but above all as an intelligent and alert witness to everyday history from 1906 to 1939.
The last of the five films in the original film series is composed of footage from Ebel shot between 1979 and 1982 and most closely reflects the original concept of Hübner and Voss.

The work of a film editor usually takes place in secret. At the end of their work is a finished film - the result of weeks of concentrated work. In documentary films, the narrative structure is often only found at the editing table. The editor is a co-author who juggles with the existing material and organizes it. It's about rhythm, compositional thinking, the sensitive handling of space and time. In the documentary by Gabriele Voss, who also works as an editor herself, renowned editors, a brain researcher and the author and director Alexander Kluge use selected film examples to report on seeing, hearing and perceiving, on chaos and order, on hidden tricks and astonishing techniques.
