- In Bangladesh, in Benin, in the DR Congo, yet also in Germany: violence against women is ever present. The film delves into the lives of women who have been subjected to horrific violence, yet managed to fight their way free. They talk about the violence that has been inflicted upon them, their struggle for survival, their hopes and fears and their current attempts to build a new life. And the men? Many of them describe violence against women as a normal part of their everyday lives. If a woman has been hit, she deserved it. If she defends herself, he threatens to take away her children and throw her out of the house... According to UNIFEM and WHO in some countries, up to 70% of all women are victims of physical or sexual abuse at least once in their lives. The film shows just how violence functions. Against a background of different cultures and social systems, the universal similarities in the mechanisms and structures of violence against women are illuminated. Claudia Schmid spends intense moments with the women. She captures images of their painful memories, their desires and dreams.

- A tax haven in Switzerland, a half-hearted fight against tax evaders in Germany, a once prosperous African country led into the abyss by world market prices of raw materials: What at first glance seems to have nothing to do with each other stands for a global economic system that determines all our lives - and the filmmaker is right in the middle of it. The film tells the story of citizens of the city of Zug who have managed to become very rich: With consistent tax cuts, they have transformed their little town into one of the world's most important tax havens. Swiss filmmaker Luzia Schmid's childhood was marked by this foolhardy rise, and its main protagonists were part of her everyday life: It is a personal economic film from the filmmaker's perspective, telling how Zug became one of the largest commodity trading centers in the world. The starting point is the close circle of her family: the father, the trustee, the sister, the politician. They are joined by friends and contemporary witnesses. Likeable people who enjoyed it and still profit from it today. But with success came problems: Dubious business lawyers and commodity traders moved into the Swiss idyll. And exploited states like Zambia from here. Zug became a symbolic place for the great injustices of this world. And a surprisingly large number of Zug residents live well with it. The director, as a first-person narrator, traces this power of displacement. She searches for answers in the field of tension between morality and motivation and locates Zug in the international tax competition, in which her adopted country, Germany, also plays a leading role. But the promise of a constantly growing economy - inherent in tax competition - only succeeds at the expense of others.
