After the fall of the Wall, many East Germans are drawn to the West by the quickest route. One of them is Clara, who quickly gets rid of her Leipzig husband and sets off in her Trabi to meet her lover Artur. But no sooner are the two together than they fall into the hands of a West German butcher's family, who catch as many GDR citizens as possible and turn them into sausage for their hotel. A bloody fight for survival begins.

More about the film program in the winter semester:

This winter semester we have once again decided against a leitmotif, against a red thread and against drawers. Our pigeonhole, red thread and leitmotif this semester will once again be the diversity of cinema. Let's look together through a realm that could not be more different and yet always has one thing in common: our view of it. We hope that was profound enough, and now enjoy the film!
