The movie is about a German director who want to make a remake of Pier Paolo Pasolini's Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (1975) (Salo, or The 120 Days of Sodom). Needless to say, something doesn't workout the way he planned. Suicide is just one of the minor problems.

Germany, right after the re-unification. The people are out of control, blind hatred towards immigrants is common sense.

Für Elise (1982) - Short Film
In his first 16mm film Christoph Schlingensief plays the national hymn on the trumpet! It's the expression of a severe crisis he suffered after being rejected by the Munich film school.
This movie doesn't follow a narrative structure, there are rather more stories combined to a movie. There's Joe and his parents, there's a lawn, where a few people in Nazi-uniforms have a picknick, there's a long and dark corridor in a basement and there are short scenes with a stage in the woods.
Udo Kier is torn between his good, love, marriage and his basic impulses, and a strange bearded man is both carried away like Jesus into the cold snow, and serves as a guide into darker wastelands. People are killed with bricks, Udo finds himself eating mud, and more. (The Worldwide Celluloid Massacre)
A couple and various researchers and film-makers find themselves in an adventure full of horror cliches filmed in avant-garde and absurdly chaotic cinematography, and watched as a film within a film by a very invested audience. They discuss their goals while running through the woods, a river, symbolically trapped in a castle, behind a gate, trying to uncover a mystery, their individualistic ideas, hidden in 'boxes', but all the while told how to play the game with rules and traps. (The Worldwide Celluloid Massacre)
Christoph Schlingensief's remake of Veit Harlan's "Opfergang" aka "The Great Sacrifice" (1944)
A light, a day, a leader. Five men, four women, dragged out of the darkness by a hand-held spotlight. We see the last hour in the Führer bunker as it really was. (imdb)
