Insults, humiliation, violence, sexual assault - the world behind the camera and the scenes can be a nightmare for many theater and film professionals. Apparently there is a real climate of fear in some film and theater productions. Some directors, but also well-known actors, apparently abuse their power and treat those around them on set or on stage with contempt or even abuse. Individual cases have been known for years, including under #metoo. But are they really isolated cases? Or can directors and actors allow themselves anything because the system allows it? In their three-year research, the documentary filmmakers spoke to more than 200 film and theater professionals about the problems in their industry. How much responsibility do the alleged perpetrators bear for abuse of power and how much responsibility does the financiers, production companies, broadcasters and also the audience bear?

Bente, a school dropout, was a foster child on the Strand family's remote farm. Forensic medicine finds a key in Bente's stomach. Where was the girl going with two cans of gasoline? Why did the local gas station attendant sell her gasoline even though it was known that she was an arsonist? Which lock does this key fit into? Local policeman Lars Klapproth might be able to contribute to solving the case, but he does not. Because Lars is the father of Maria's missing daughter Matilde. He had made the toddler disappear with the help of GDR state agencies during the reunification period. When Maria, who had fled the republic, returned to get her daughter shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Matilde had already been adopted and could not be found.

A couple, a mother, a body activist - they all earn their money on an Internet platform for pornographic content: "WatchMe". While Tim (Michelangelo Fortuzzi) tries to live up to the great ambitions of his boyfriend Josh (Simon Mantei), Toni (Anna Werner Friedmann) lives out a previously undiscovered side of her. Although she now feels electrified, she is also confronted with prejudice. The feminist plus-size activist Malaika (Maddy Forst), on the other hand, wants to benefit at least financially from the sexualization she is exposed to every day anyway - according to her own rules. But she quickly has to ask herself whether this is even possible.
