The somewhat different review of the year by and with Urban Priol! Another year that is coming to an end. The euro crisis. Our glass is still half full, we're taking the glasses away from the rest of Europe. Mrs. Merkel laughs, Mr. Gauck mumbles pastorally and pensively about a "dip in prosperity", but the debt-ridden countries don't have to worry about this because they are impoverished in freedom...

A depiction of the Wrangelkiez neighbourhood in Berlin. The people portrayed tell their life stories. One woman came to the neighbourhood a decade ago to work in Berlin’s still unfinished Brandenburger Airport, one man reminisces his childhood on a Tobacco farm in Kentucky, another speaks of an exceptional day in an otherwise monotonous workplace. These portraits are interwoven with the story of Elpi, a Greek woman who is waiting for the long overdue visit of an old important friend. The outcome of this mixture is a film which captures the lives and perspectives of some of Wrangelkiez’s most commanding citizens, while at the same time evoking the loss that change and time passing means for places and for people.
