Synopsis
In the shadow of the racist riots in Dresden, Syrian refugees receive an integration course into the GDR from former workers of the combine FORTSCHITT.
Former factory workers of FORTSCHRITT help Syrian refugees with their German Integration Course. What starts with a German language lesson in the FORTSCHRITT ruin ends with classes of political education and a GDR military camp. Driven by the personal entanglement of the director the re-enactments are deconstructed and the social conditioning of the GDR everyday life becomes apparent.
