In April 1992, ultra-orthodox Jews of the Athra-Kadisha came to Hamburg to demonstrate against the final destruction of the Jewish cemetery. The cemetery, where bones still lie, was to be built on with a shopping centre. The film shows the history of this Jewish cemetery, recalls the former Jewish community in Altona and gives an insight into Jewish religious life and culture.

In 1995, filmmaker Jens Huckeriede and camerawoman Barbara Metzlaff together with Arne Gleiss go to the former Papagoyen neighborhood on Breiten Straße near the Hamburg fish market. With the help of writing stencils they write the lyrics of the song "An de Eck steiht`n Jung mit`n Tüdelband ..." on the sidewalk. Residents take a position on this, there are voices for, but also against. A passerby remembers the song of the Wolf brothers and sings the first verse.

The film documents the development of a performance by students from Koszalin/Poland and Hamburg in the former Neuengamme concentration camp. Under the guidance of dancers, musicians and rappers from New York, San Francisco and Hamburg, the young people get involved in this place and its history for five days. Despite initial reservations and openly expressed fears of dancing or singing here of all places, a process begins in which the students of both nations find their own, very moving form of expression to deal with the past.

Mockumentary film about the alleged son of director Ernst Lubitsch.

A documentary about remembering and forgetting 60 years after the Shoa. Contemporary witnesses no longer live, and the author embarks on a search for an artistic strategy to sharpen the perception of the absent. In a labyrinth of memories we see interviews with Ivoné Simon (né. Guggenheim) from Brazil, the sons of the former homeowner Michael and Claus Fritsche as well as the scientists Prof. Dr. Aleida Assmann, Prof. Dr. Gabriele Rosenthal and Dr. Claudia Curio and others.

Documentary chronicles the lives of the German-Jewish Wolf brothers, who started a popular band at the turn of the century, most notably with their song "Tuedelband," which remains the anthem of the city's football team to this day.
