In 1986 a young punk and underground artist within the DDR (East Germany) travels, with his super 8mm Russian made camera through a forest north of Berlin. There, glinting against the white of the snow he catches sight of something. Something that no other German had seen for 40 years. Recording the objects with his camera he returns to Berlin, edits it into a film, holds a showing and, as soon as the show is over, he burns the film. Why? What had he discovered? But what he had done had started, unknowingly, a story that would come to involve, classic car dealers, envelopes of cash, art historians and smugglers, international criminals and more!
