After 25 years the era Castorf comes to an end. During the last season of the Volksbühne the film allows us to witness the everyday life of this outstanding theatre with a reputation all over the world. From the first draw of the scenery till the final curtain we are watching how the monumental theatrical production of Goethes Faust comes to life. Thus we take a close look at the director, his actors and the people who work behind the scenes and get an impression of what has been grown together here. We are also on tour with them in Paris and Athen and see extracts of other plays developed by Castorf and his team.

Berlin is changing. From London to New York it is considered "the place to be". And Berlin is cheap compared to other European capitals. Everybody wants to live here and many want to buy a flat to put their money into a save haven with the banksystem in crisis. This is creating a conflict with the original residents. Rents are rising rapidly and neighborhoods are changing drastically.Over a period of 4 years, the author interviewed and accompanied real estate agents and investors during their daily routine and filmed tenants struggling to cope with the situation. He provides the audience with the opportunity to experience the turnaround of a whole city virtually at first hand.
