Spring 1988: a cinematic chronicle of the small town of Zehdenick an der Havel in the Mark Brandenburg. Brickworks have determined the rhythm of life in Zehdenick for exactly 100 years. Seasoned brickmakers and young skilled workers speak frankly and critically about their working and living conditions and their futile efforts to improve them. The film is the first part of the Märkische Trilogie, which Volker Koepp shot "over the course of time about a brickworks in the small town of Zehdenick in the Mark Brandenburg. The very sensitively and atmospherically designed film was withheld by the GDR censors of the time. A depressing report about outdated production methods and disillusioned people."
