Synopsis
Henryk Wichmann, 33, member of the CDU party has beenworking as an opposition representative in the Brandenburg
state parliament since 2009. The film follows him over the
course of one year, observing his work in parliament and his
constituency Uckermark/Upper Havel. There he visits schools,
senior fairs, the Federal Armed Forces and local business enterprises.
He has to deal with labour deficit, faces troubles with
the Deutsche Bahn and illegal dumpsites as well as with the
Lesser Spotted Eagle and the Bearded Tit. Actually, he prefers to be where it hurts the most – at the
base.
Almost 10 years after VOTE FOR HENRYK! Andreas Dresen gets us up to speed. A new tragicomical
documentary about what political work and democracy in harsh practice really mean – in the plenum
and hallways of parliament and in the daily routine in the constituency.
