Synopsis
Rents have been exploding in Berlin, but it’s not as bad as London or Paris yet. Students, families and pensioners can still live in the centre of Berlin. But affordable homes are getting scarce. International investors have also discovered the flat-trade in Berlin. The losers of that boom are the tenants. The filmmakers house was bought by investors of a 'dynamic' estate company, who want to convert the rental flats into freehold flats. But sales don’t override contracts, and tenants in Berlin-Mitte have 7 years security of tenure. Katrin Rothe and her neighbours start to fight for their rights and against the gentrification. It’s a new world director is confronted with. It consists of accusations, pretence surveyor’s appointments and provocations. Her lawyer says, she’s to ignore it all. But it’s hard. When the potential buyers attend her flat, the documentary continues with drawn and animated characters. The estate agent is getting more and more impatient while viewings. But also Katrin is getting more and more silent and anxious.
