Part 2 of the March Brandenburg trilogy captures the conversations that took place in the small town of Zehdenick in the weeks leading up to the first free elections in the spring of 1990. It reflects the hopes and concerns of the business community, working class women and youths during the Wende (The Turn) period. Returning to the milieu portrayed in Märkische Ziegel, the film illustrates the attitudes which emerged when power began to change hands in the GDR.
