A slum in the middle of Berlin? As recently as one week before the release of this documentary, around one hundred people were living in Germany's largest homeless camp at Rummelsburg Bay. An area the size of half a football field was filled with shopping carts and makeshift shelters. The camp has since been cleared—officially because of freezing temperatures. But the site has long been earmarked for something else: an aquarium is planned as a new tourist attraction.

‍
Before the eviction, reporter Samuel Häde spends several days with the camp's residents. Among them is Vladko, who has struggled with alcoholism since his youth and has found a community in the camp that accepts him. He shows Samuel the tarpaulin shelter he has called home for the past three years. Samuel also meets Donje, a father living in the camp with his wife and children while waiting for construction work.

‍
Who is responsible for these people? Samuel speaks with district mayor Kevin Hönicke (SPD), who says there are simply no other places in the district where the camp's residents can stay. Just two days later, the eviction comes unexpectedly—much earlier than anticipated. With the help of Berlin's Senate administration, emergency accommodation is arranged for the residents, but they receive no prior warning. The following day, under police protection, excavators begin tearing down the abandoned shelters.

Will the residents accept their new situation?
