A former military barracks of the Wehrmacht now serves as a refugee camp for people from Ukraine. "Waking up in silence" accompanies the children on their journey, where their own history meets that of the barracks. A moment between past and future, war and silence, departure, and arrival, which depicts a portrait of German history and its present through the eyes of its young protagonists.
