The place: the outskirts of Hamburg, a flat, 2 rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom. The time: one day and the passing night. Wolfgang "Wolli" Köhler, former porn-cinema and brothel founder turned poet and illustrator, lives here with his wife, Linda. Scenes of cohabitation. Scenes of a life together. Reminiscences of an existence that has led them from Waldheim in Saxony to St. Pauli in Hamburg. Insights into the abject wretchedness of the sex industry. The underworld of covert backyard meetings before the coming of AIDS. Prejudices are undermined, preconceptions challenged. Wolli takes a trip down his own personal "memory lane."

Baku in Azerbaijan, the site of the world's first oil well, is once again becoming a focus for foreign investors eager to exploit the country's vast oil riches. Source traces the pipeline from our commuter highways back to this surreal and sinister landscape on which our way of life depends, where cows graze on polluted land and children play in toxic gunge. With three quarters of the population living under the poverty line, the country's post-Soviet government is promising that oil will turn Azerbaijan into a 'real country', a prosperous and flourishing 'New Kuwait'. But between big oil companies like British Petroleum and the corrupt government lining their pockets, what does this mean for the ordinary people of Azerbaijan? Is this "liquid gold" more of a curse than a blessing for the troubled country?

The film crew has spent 7 years at one of the most unique institution-complexes in Central East Europe among Hungarian drug addicts. While watching the movie, the audience may also become part of the therapy and has here the possibility to access another 'time experience'. This documentary shows that questions raised by the surprisingly naturally behaving recovering addicts in front of the camera are very exciting and relevant to their peers and all those people in society who are equally on the track and wobbling in the process of searching for themselves.
