About the politics of enmity and what we do about it: In a long-term observation, filmmakers Christian Lehmann-Feddersen & Alf Schreiber document the socio-political aftermath of the G20 summit in Hamburg.

The G20 summit in Hamburg in July 2017 was the occasion for Europe's movements critical of capitalism to protest together against this demonstration of power by the world's dominant forces across all political divides.
The film accompanies participants in the protests at the time in a long-term observation. It shows how they became victims of unrestrained police violence, were temporarily imprisoned and are still being prosecuted today. Nevertheless, they continue to fight against restrictions on fundamental rights and for a free society.
In addition to G20, new movements are also forming in the endless crises. For example, migrant workers are organizing to fight for basic rights, the right to strike, fair pay and decent working conditions. Refugee women are organizing themselves in feminist associations such as "NiNa Women in Action" and "Women in Exile".
On the other hand, the capitalist system is also reshaping itself, which is made clear in the film using the example of the global financial services provider Black Rock.
In the synopsis of all levels of the film, a comprehensive picture emerges of how the forces of private appropriation of wealth and power determine our living and working conditions.
