About the movement that occupied empty houses in Berlin in April-May 1981. For three months, the filmmakers followed the Berlin riots, and during that period they lived in an occupied house and inquired about the problems of former residents and the situation of arrested occupants. Their first idea, to provide evidence of the daily life of the occupants, was modified by the course of events. During the shooting, more and more frequently they went out on the streets with the protesters, simply because their life was happening in the streets.

When the Greek military seized power in 1967, the composer Mikis Theodorakis called for resistance against the dictatorship. The junta prohibited the performance of his music and tried to arrest him. Three months later, they found and placed him under secret service arrest. In his cell, suspended between life and death, he wrote 36 lyrical texts in an almost euphoric state of mind. He set 17 of these poems to music which he called the cycle "Sun & Time". This is a documentary about depression and resistance during the Junta time and about the concert "Sun & Time" which took place in Berlin with the rock musician Rainer Kirchmann and the Greek singer Maria Farantouri in November 1998.
