In 1991, both two years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 30th anniversary of the guest worker agreement, Turkish filmmaker Can Candan interviewed members of Berlin's Turkish community about their experiences around German reunification and the racist violence that came along with it at the beginning of the 90s.

Cameramen and women discuss the craft and art of cinematography and of the "DP" (the director of photography), illustrating their points with clips from 100 films, from Birth of a Nation to Do the Right Thing. Themes: the DP tells people where to look; changes in movies (the arrival of sound, color, and wide screens) required creative responses from DPs; and, these artisans constantly invent new equipment and try new things, with wonderful results. The narration takes us through the identifiable studio styles of the 30s, the emergence of noir, the New York look, and the impact of Europeans. Citizen Kane, The Conformist, and Gordon Willis get special attention.
