On 31 August 2021, a group of young people go on hunger strike in Berlin's government district to draw attention to the climate crisis. Six months later, a part of the group meets again. Lina is now with the "Last Generation" and wants to pressurize the government through means of civil disobedience. For Taura, Guerrero, Charly and Fuchs, this form of protest is not enough: in order to stop the impending tipping points, they prefer to take further steps…Filmmaker Felix Maria Bühler accompanies his five protagonists over the course of a year. He takes part in actions and offers an insight into the climate movements in Germany: "Fridays For Future", "Extinction Rebellion", "Ende Gelände" and "Last Generation".The film does without interviews but rather delves into the world of radical climate activism in an intimate way. While Taura, Guerrero, Charly and Fuchs discuss new strategies among themselves, Lina literally sticks to the streets with the "Last Generation". At the same time, the gigantic coal excavator is digging ever closer to Lützerath, and Guerrero, Charly and Fuchs have to prepare for the upcoming eviction. Above all, they face the question: where do the individual's limits begin and how far will the group go to stand up for their ideals? - www.filmportal.de
