Election campaign for the parliamentary elections for the Bundestag in 1965 in the town of Neu-Ulm, Germany.

At the beginning of the winter semester 68/69, the students of the Department of Educational Sciences (AfE) at the University of Frankfurt decide to boycott all courses and at the same time organize counter-seminars. The strike was directed against the effects of the technocratic university reform that had just been introduced and was supported by all the student councils, especially the sociologists, students of Frankfurt Critical Theory. But this solidarity strike developed into a tangible dispute over the dismantling of authoritarian teaching situations and new emancipatory research strategies. The sociology seminar is occupied and renamed the "Spartakus Seminar". Working groups now meet there. The SDS discusses with Professors Habermas, Mitscherlich and v. Friedeburg shortly before the police occupy the seminar at night.

In the summer of 1967, journalist Katharina is visited in Munich by her French friend Anne. They take day trips and visit cafés, acquaintances, and parties. In a series of conversations between them and other women, they talk about the chances for female emancipation in a male-dominated society.

In 8 miniatures, the search for happiness is approached from a different angle. Can you have a guinea pig as a husband? Can horses survive on Venus? How do you live with an alien woman?

Straschek's film points to the gap between workers and intellectuals and describes the "difficulties of the revolution" in a biting and witty way.

The film consists of four parts: Part 1 shows the founding of a new working group of the "Critical University" at the FU Berlin. Participants are students, workers, pupils, assistants and a university lecturer. The working group is founded to study the problems of educational advertising. Part 2 shows the campaign "Expropriate Springer"; the university administration of the FU Berlin refuses the rooms. The Springer Hearing takes place after all. Part 3 describes the Vietnam Congress, shows Dutschke's speech and a first approach to a counter-demonstration against the students. Part 4 answers Wolfgang Lefevre's questions about the next goals of the SDS.

The classical Epic is reduced to the bare bones of the action. Despite the seven minutes of turbulent action, it is actually a slow film: in the war against Kreon, one of Antigone's brothers fights for the king, one against him. Both die. One of them is buried; the other is left lying on the street. Antigone goes against the king's wishes and wants to bury her brother. As a punishment Antigone is buried alive behind a wall. Her fiancé, Haimon dies, overcome with grief. Haiman's mother, Eurydike, is so upset by his death that she hangs herself. And just as the old soothsayer predicted, the king himself finds no happiness from all this death: he is killed. That makes 6 deaths, even though the war is over.

Fragments of fairy tales alternate with observations of children. Documentary and staged sequences are combined. There is no break and no contrast between reality, the children's behavior and the imagination; they merge into one another.

Documentary by Hans-Dieter Müller.

According to the Baden Württemberg Higher Education Act of 1968, the University of Freiburg forms a Basic Regulations Assembly: 22 full professors, 10 lecturers, assistants and academic councillors, 10 students. Three commissions draft paragraphs. The students are defeated in votes. Under threat of withdrawal, they force further negotiations to be made public. Professor Jeschek, Criminal Law, Councillor of the Higher Regional Court, criticizes the public nature of the negotiations. This is a people's assembly, not a consultation, which could serve as a model for self-government matters. A student named Berger replies.

The process of slaughtering cattle is shown and explained. This taboo subject is to be solved objectively with this work.

In three episodes, the Freiburg University professors Schramm, Hassenstein and Dr. Bresch and their lectures are portrayed. What is the basis for becoming a university teacher? Is it possible to redesign the classic lecture? Can the illegal, the conflict, be legalized? What do reforms consist of? What about study committees with equal representation?

The conflict comes to a head; student Melville proposes that the Basic Regulations Assembly should "like Lysistrata" refuse to deal with the Ministry of Culture and not adopt any Basic Regulations until the Dahrendorf Plan is off the table. The students propose that no basic regulations be passed until the government has improved the Higher Education Act. The motion is rejected by 10:25 votes. Riots interrupt the meeting.
