An armed group is preparing an attack on a US headquarters in Bad Tölz. The NDR man Proff sympathizes with them, destroying his family life in the process. Shipyard worker Tapp and his colleagues sabotage the arms deals of the higher-ups. Nina travels to East Germany with spontaneous activists and the unemployed; militant prisoners fight for their lives in prison. Life or death, this question also tears at Ahlers, whose child is ill. A lot of comrades who hardly know each other. But doesn't "comrades" also have something to do with "enjoying"? Everywhere, it’s about the whole: love, betrayal, destruction, liberation. Geissler's novels "It's About Time We Live" and "The Bread with the File" tell, sometimes exuberantly and sometimes skeptically, about the resistance in the 1930s and 1960s. "Kamalatta" asks from the perspective of the 1970s what it means when it comes to life.
