In their daily routine the two craftspeople Uli and Didi work in their workshop and reflect on old teachers and the upcoming Village fair but also on the new guests in the village. These guests have given them an unusual commission: To build parts of a concentration camp on German soil - in 2020. In search of recognition for their work, they do not compromise themselves and do their best to meet the demands of their clients, an international film production company. The company is shooting a historical film in the neighborhood and the village ist upside down. GOOD GERMAN WORK is the absurd clash of a Brandenburg landscape with the film world, and in every frame one question resonates inevitably: Is this completely normal or purely insane?

The movie is part of the program SHORTS WJFF: TOUCHING THE INTANGIBLE

It can be visible on the surface of the skin, hidden in the accent or rooted in the back of your mind. Between politically correct and personal responsibility, in the realm of the hectic present and the memory of the past, five films asks – is it still possible to track hints of individual voices and basic humanism?
