Synopsis: 

History and art in Berlin’s new center. Like a fossil, the Marx-Engels-Forum, a large, ambitious monument project of the GDR, adorns a central historical spot in the middle of Berlin. Böttcher’s experimental documentary transforms footage he shot of the creation of this monument in the 1980s into new material. A story about the loss of a monument’s meaning.
