Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world and is also plagued by numerous terrorist organizations that repeatedly kidnap people. Accompanied by a military convoy, the travel group explores the country and the cultural traditions of two of the last nomadic tribes, the Woodabe and the Tuareg. From the capital Niamey in the southwest, the journey continues through the interior of the country to Iférouane, where the Nigerien tour guide provides information about the country and its people.

In her documentary, director Eva Wolf accompanies police officers at a Münster police station for many months at work. The filmmaker asked herself what the officers' day-to-day work is like away from scandals during operations or right-wing extremist group chats. She not only documents their work assignments, which can be exciting and dangerous as well as boring and quite funny at times. The officers themselves also take viewers to the places where the first cracks appear in society. Eva Wolf wants to find out what the challenging work does to the officers and why they chose to work for the police.
