content

Julius, Esther, Jakobine and Käthe, all around the age of 20, find a shabby old villa in Berlin-Grunewald and run a peaceful shared apartment . Here they want to realize their dream of a self-sufficient, alternative life, in the villa garden crops are grown and ecological animal husbandry is practiced, but their dream is shaken when the property becomes a speculative object of the large building contractor Sybille, who wants to demolish it. But the engineer Conrad Kolberg, who, as it turns out later, is Jakobine's biological father, starts the rescue of the gem out of personal optimism and a sense of justice.

He drains the basement and carries out the first building security measures in order to make the dismissal given by the building contractor ineffective. She, on the other hand, floods the basement and destroys the rotten roof in order to wear down the residents and to force its early demolition. An affair between Kolberg and Sybille that was 15 years ago turns the whole company into a personal campaign of revenge, which Sybille gives up after Kolberg threatened her with media presence. He organizes the systematic maintenance and modernization work. The house is given a new roof with solar collectors, the foundation and the masonry are sealed, thermal insulation is installed, and so the flat-sharing community residents could live in an ecologically exemplary low-energy house, but the kitchen garden and the animal husbandry are being removed with excessive zeal, and that has been the case until now Swimming pool used as a biotope will be renovated and put back into operation as such.

While the flat share residents stare at a plainly leveled garden, Kolberg triumphantly presents the completely renovated villa at the inauguration party. The house can no longer be demolished, but at the same time it is lost as a dream . The dream home has become a typical suburban villa for the wealthy. The alternative group is looking for a new place to stay in the country. The irony of the comedy is that the group now has to learn that they have settled next to a nuclear power plant . The deed well-intentioned by Kolberg awakens a healthy optimism and a natural humanity in Sybille, who had recently been an ice-cold, pessimistic businesswoman.

criticism

“Four young people see their idyllic, alternative way of life in an old Berlin villa being threatened by a construction lioness. An engineer rushes to their aid by renovating the house, although the idyll is lost. The young people move to the countryside. An attempt to link two German contemporary themes of the late 1970s - alternative life and building speculation - with one another. ”- Lexicon of international film
