In October 1989 the escalation in the streets of Leipzig threatens to turn into violence, which, however, can also be prevented by the courage and moral courage of local personalities.

In this way they make this work a documentation of an important change. Recordings show excerpts from the Monday demonstrations with the well-known calls for a change in the political system in the GDR . The conversations and interviews with the following well-known people from the trade fair city will then be shown:
- Hans-Wilhelm Ebeling , pastor of the St. Thomas Church

- Arno Rink , painter - rector of the Leipzig School of Graphics and Book Art
