Brief synopsis

The middle of a Frankfurter industrial estate has been the home of the antagon TheaterAKTion for over twenty years. As sometimes only 5 people live in the caravans in winter, new members have to be found in spring. The street theatre season approaches and in the summer months antagon is on tour.
For the planned repertoire a minimum 20 people have to be matched perfectly together. Not only the actors have to master their roles but also the daily life of the group has to function: A challenge for the “old” as well as the new members.
The film sees the staging of theatre as an exciting, tension-filled backdrop for displaying hopes and dreams - beyond the ubiquitous conformity and lack of imagination. It tells of the yearning for freedom, shown here through the obsession for theatre and the pleasure of stage performance.
