Hamburg, May 1945, English troops occupy the city. The gates of the concentration camps open. The Germans speak of collapse and take care of everyday life. Only a few feel liberated and think of a new beginning. At the end there is a poem by Ingeborg Bachmann: We'll end the rut, otherwise the end will be spoiled.
