Despite the cold eyes and the ridicules
Never give up the ideals in your heart
After years of building bus shelters and phone booths, Daniel, an architect in his late thirties, is finally commissioned to build a major community centre on the fringe of East Berlin. Promised with a team of architects that he has chosen, he leads his old colleagues and friends to realise an ambitious design to counter the dull constructions of the GDR. With a conservative superior, a team that is falling apart and a wife who longs for the West, Daniel ponders on his country and its people.
This is the last film made by the GDR, and is one of the first films to depict the last days of the state during the transitional period of the unification. By the time the filming was finished, the GDR no longer existed.
