Each of the directors involved in this episodic film has created their personal cinematic take on present-day Germany. 招蘇珊桑塔格和《赤色風暴》女恐怖分子的魂;通街都是塔利班,窮小子必然是小偷。這邊拆舊樓是忘記「德國童年」,那邊放棄歌德字體,編輯要死。《黑金殺機》湯泰華扯頭纜,13導演響應,有《快樂的謊言》的胡夫根貝嘉、《玩謝希特拉》的丹尼李維、去年焦點導演《收視大騎劫》的漢斯雲格拿,和《天堂邊緣》的法堤艾金等,劇情片外也有論文和抒情詩紀錄片另類觀察。精彩對白摘錄:每個人都可以成為恐怖分子/德國已沒有人挨餓/德國需要一記腦震盪/德國已矣,他們相信不已。角度縱橫勁抽有深度有態度,絕非只有浪漫溫馨,模仿《我愛巴黎》。
