No Exit

Every Saturday afternoon the members of the 'Freie Kameradschaft Frankfurt/Oder' meet in Nico's appartment. Whilst having cake and coffee, political instructions are held and upcoming actions are planned: a petition for harder penalties for child molesterers, singing in an Retirement Home etc.

The documentary N O E X I T follows the inner life of the 'Freie Kameradschaft Frankfurt/Oder' over a period of one year. This group of six youths is portrayed as an ambiguous and fragile construct, in which different personal demands and ideas clash. This leads to both hidden and open conflict. It also becomes clearly recognizable what in the regular instructions nurtures the 'brown stain' of their souls and what is being rejected. The movie shows how the political motivation departs when people allow us insight into their innermost self, here we find absolute personal desire and conflict. And we also discover the stain on the soul at the same time, which is fertile ground for political manipulation.

On the basis of three biographies the film describes the desires, fears and conflicts of a group of young people who want to engage society. The wish of these youths to be loved and needed but also their fear of the strange and unknown sets free their emotions and may unleash violence and hatred for the slightest of reasons.
