action
The screw seller Bärbel Rossow serves customers at a stand in the Berlin market hall on Alexanderplatz , which has been a new building on Karl-Liebknecht-Straße since 1968 . She can only answer most of the inquiries with the phrase "we don't have", which was often heard in the GDR , which she demonstrates for the camera on a sample wall with screws. Next we get to know a young man who works as a caretaker at the Center for Art Exhibitions in the GDR and who is currently adding coals to the stove for the central heating. But it is also shown in work that goes beyond that of a caretaker and serves to prepare for exhibitions. The film also shows a car mechanic who works in a car workshop and is busy repairing a Trabant car , which he drives through a car wash at the end of the work, where another person involved works. A fifth is a locksmith and is shown doing welding work in the yard of a workshop. After work he rides a bicycle through the Friedrichstrasse to Schönhauser Allee corner Sredzkistraße in the district Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg .
This is where the youth club “Erich Franz” is located , in which the orchestra members presented above stand on stage as an avant-garde live band “ The Free Orchestra ”. The saleswoman is the band's singer, the caretaker is the drummer, the car mechanic plays the guitar, while the locksmith is experimenting with new sounds on self-made instruments. The hall is full of visitors and at the end of the film a song sung by Bärbel is played, the title of which has accompanied the audience in word and tone since the beginning of the film: “Ham wa nich”.
