- In the seventies, a satellite town was built in Cologne-Chorweiler. Large-format black-and-white photos of Chorweiler citizens have been hanging in the Chorweiler subway station for 14 years.

- If Japan is renowned for its rituals and refinement, one of its arts has seen its reputation tainted by scandal and has gradually sunk into oblivion: horimono tattooing. For a long time, these ink drawings were reputed to provide wearers with magical protection. They eased the fears of fishermen heading out to sea, gave heart to firefighters battling flames and strength to workers perched on the highest scaffolding. Outlawed in the mid-19th century, the horimono was then taken over by the yakuza mafia gangs, becoming a symbol of terror. Today, a handful of enthusiasts have set about restoring this tradition to its former glory. Masters of this art, born in the 17th century, open the doors of their workshops.

- In September 2017, the right-wing populist party AfD, which is now observed by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, moved into the Bundestag for the first time. More than 70 MPs of the party's parliamentary group later join a highly confidential chat group. They call themselves the "Quasselgruppe". Around 40,000 posts were secretly leaked to NDR and WDR. They show what the AfD politicians really think and how they really talk when they think nobody is listening to them. Frequently controversial topic: How far-right should the party be? The question of whether one wants to be more of a national-socialist or a liberal-conservative party was discussed. The course of the chat reveals, among other things, extreme overthrow and revenge fantasies. Former Chancellor Angela Merkel has been dubbed a traitor who deserves life in prison. Verbal derailments can also be found at the digital AfD regulars' table in the form of homophobic insults. But the longer the AfD is in the Bundestag, the greater the frustration about the lack of cohesion, the lack of content and the lack of a clear leadership style and a promising strategy. With the help of interviews with AfD members, the documentary attempts to classify and reflect on what was written online.
