Hamburg 1966. Adapting to conditions is the name of the game in the post-war reality of West Germany. There’s trouble in the air, has been for some time. Marquard Bohm is troubled too – by the coercion in question. He doesn’t want to go to work. He can’t go to work. Nothing works anymore. At Dammtor a man runs into him: ‘Can I get by?’ he asks. ‘There’s plenty of space,’ Bohn answers casually. ‘But not for me,’ the older man replies, expecting deference, obedience. Bohm punches him in the face and then asks for a roll of fruit drops at the station kiosk. (Berlinale)
