Kraftwerk, Björk, Rammstein or Robbie Williams on tour are not just concerts, but pop operas, the most spectacular stage events of our time.

Constantly traveling, constantly negotiating, always on the lookout for the next big thing.

Marga is a forty-two-year-old actress who seems to have already passed the peak of her career. After starting her career in theater on the country's major stages (Volksbühne Berlin, Berliner Ensemble, Maxim Gorki Theater), it is becoming increasingly difficult for her to find work. Not only in theater, but also in film, it seems to be getting harder to get roles as she gets older and as a woman, especially a woman with a migrant background.
Elias Gottstein and Carl Luis Zielke have no fixed abode, no education, no bank account, no securities. Instead, they are living their dream of freedom: radical, anarchic, unplugged! They are young, they are intelligent, they are hungry: for life, for music, for a future far removed from the bourgeois imaginary world. They also have an irrepressible optimism that they can shape this life themselves with and through their music. As Guaia Guaia, they travel from city to city on self-built bicycles, attracting fans and police officers with loud, illegal concerts.
The director's mother is 90 years old—and is beginning to forget herself. Not only herself, but everything else as well. She has dementia. Only her faith and her tireless knitting of exclusively blue socks keep her alive. The director, whose relationship with his mother has been very tense throughout his life, approaches the dissolution of his mother's ego in this experimental and essayistic film with the support of Didier Eribon, Simone de Beauvoir, Norbert Elias, Jean Améry, and others. In addition to this very personal story, he also tells a universal story about the process of aging, about repression, but also about rebellion in dealing with and interacting with aging people.
