A gramophone needle descends onto a record and melancholy trumpet music begins to play. Photos appear. They are family photos of young people in the
1930s. The giggle of a woman mixes
with the trumpet's song. Then the music stops as the trumpeter begins to laugh. Together their laughter climbs to the apo-calyptic pitch of those who have nothing
to lose. The family photos continue and become increasingly strange. They show the beginnings of the insanity of the Third Reich as it entered into the private life of a lower middle class family.
