Anthology film in which different scenes are montaged side by side. Hannelore Hoger plays a central role as the accused. Numerous references to earlier Kluge films are hidden. Alexander Kluge versucht zu ergründen, was Gefühle ausmacht. Woher kommen sie, wozu sind sie fähig und kann der Verstand ihrer Herr werden? Er schaut sich die Oper in Frankfurt am Main, eingebettet in Häuserschluchten und die Betonwüste, an. Mithilfe dieser Gegensätze versucht er, das Wesen der Gefühle herauszuarbeiten. Kluge bringt dafür zahlreiche Fragmente zusammen, verwendet dokumentarisch gedrehtes Material, Szenen alter Filme, Zitate anderer Werke und den eigenen Kommentar. Alexander Kluge tries to understand what constitutes feelings. Where do they come from, what are they capable of and can the mind become their master? He looks at the opera in Frankfurt am Main, embedded in the urban canyons and the concrete desert. With the help of these contrasts he tries to work out the nature of feelings. Kluge brings together numerous fragments, uses documentary material, scenes from old films, quotes from other works and his own commentary.
