NICHTS BLEIBT UND NICHTS VERSCHWINDET

NOTHING REMAINS NOTHING DISAPPEARS — Germany 2026 — Directed by: Paul Sonntag — 79 min — Spoken languages: German, English — Subtitles: English, German — Production: Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg — Producers: Oscar Meyer-Ricks, Judith Frahm, Paul Sonntag

On a Berlin street corner an old supermarket transforms into a new construction – between the aisles and on the scaffolding, the labor of place-making becomes material.

A Berlin street corner is slowly changing: an aging supermarket turns into a construction site and finally a new building. People restock shelves, demolish walls, take breaks and count money. Those who work here participate in the making and unmaking of the place. How does it shape the conditions of their labor? Between supermarket aisles, construction scaffolding and exposed concrete, different versions begin to overlap. Repetitions appear like echoes between worlds, both playful and eerie.
