While the revolving stage is set up they are captured on camera, reconstructing scenes instead of playing them, matching their experiences against those of Schiller‘s dramatis personae. Robert, who as a boy defended Mannheim from American bombs with an anti-aircraft gun, speaks first, followed by Dave, who reports on the execution of his superior in Vietnam, next to Darnell, who ended up in Vietnam and Heidelberg due to a broken heart, and Sven Otto, the Wallenstein figure from Mannheim, West Germany, a conservative politician betrayed by his own party members, who is countered by a police chief from Weimar in East Germany as Max and Octavio Piccolomini.
