"1929 - The Year of Babylon" tells the twelve months as a year of decisions. The country and the city are on the brink, the future is open, nobody knows where the journey is going. The First World War has been over for a good ten years, the defeat misunderstood, the republic a permanent state of emergency. History has granted it only four golden years. The splendour is based on pumping and already threatens to fade. There are 15 parties in the Reichstag, from the far left to the extreme right, each government is an impossible coalition.
