Two sisters from Vienna, Helga Feldner-Busztin and Elisabeth Scheiderbauer, recount their deportation as children - ages seven and fourteen - with their mother to the Theresienstadt Ghetto/KZ, while their father was sent to Auschwitz. Miraculously surviving, their firsthand memories document the mechanisms and daily realities of Nazi terror. The film interweaves these testimonies with 2D animations situating time and place, and features international artists (e.g., Iris Berben, Konstantin Wecker) who interpret moments of suffering through contemporary performance and music.

A story about a group of Austria-Hungarian soldiers in the 1st World War. They hold an artillery post in the mountains on the southern front to Italy. The group is cut off from their own troops and under heavy artillery fire from the Italian. When the post receives a fatal direct hit from a shell, killing the comrades, private Jacob Lindner and the seriously injured captain Jan Kopetzky are the only survivors of the post. Jakob has to suffer the madness of this hellish war in all its human atrocities. Without care, help from the command, food and water, to survive becomes an existential challenge. The young soldier tries desperately with humanity and dignity to save his and the injured captains life.
