The film recounts the story of the "Blumenfelds", a jewish family in the period from January 1933 up to the November pogroms 1938. For a long time they disavow the gravity of their situation, until their lives collapse at some point in a brutal manner.

Due to the artistic expression of a single camera position over the complete film, the music plays an unconventional role in the storytelling.

Nominated for the German Human Rights Film Award 2012.
