Every year, five to ten percent of all deceased Berliners are buried by the authorities because no relatives are found. Most of them are put into the ground by mortician Bernd Simon going alone. But sometimes companions do turn up and say goodbye in their very own way. An observational documentary about an undertaker who actually wanted to become an entertainer, a bizarre city portrait and a mirror of how we deal with death, mourning and commemoration.

An aging Osho commune in rural Germany. The dream of enlightenment and free love still echoes, but the winds of change are impossible to ignore. Wahhab is the caretaker of this community and faces the slow fading of things with his unwavering cordless drill.
