Einübung ins Paradies - Nachdenken über 1989
1
November 9, 1989, the day the Wall came down, was one of those days when it became clear that the world had changed "immediately and without delay" once and for all. [...] But it was not only politics and the lives of many people that changed with the world, but also the way we think. And more permanently than one might think. For a long time after that evening, there were calls for a major, analytical reappraisal of what had happened. After all the talk about bananas, the German feature pages hoped for "the great German novel of the turnaround". The fact that this has not appeared in the last 30 years has to do with the fact that thinking and art have changed forever along with the world.

Loveparade - Als die Liebe tanzen lernte
8
At the end of the Cold War, something new arised that should influence an entire generation and express their attitude to life. It started with an idea in the underground subculture of Berlin shortly before the fall of the Wall. With the motto "Peace, Joy, Pancakes", Club DJ Dr. Motte and companions launched the first Love Parade. A procession registered as political demonstration with only 150 colorfully dressed people dancing to house and techno. What started out small developed over the years into the largest party on the planet with visitors from all over the world. In 1999, 1.5 million people took part. With the help of interviews with important organizers and contemporary witnesses, the documentary reflects the history of the Love Parade, but also illuminates the dark side of how commerce and money business increasingly destroyed the real spirit, long before the emigration to other cities and the Love Parade disaster of Duisburg in 2010, which caused an era to end in deep grief.
