    A local history at sea: At its peak, the GDR’s deep-sea fishing fleet comprised over 100 vessels. 4,000 sailors plied the world’s oceans. Today, only a few of these steel colossi remain. Director Tom Fröhlich has tracked down four of them: off the coast of Greenland, in a Spanish port, at a Danish scrapyard, and in the Port of Hamburg. They are the last witnesses to a vanished working world, a piece of contemporary history, and at the same time living places where people still work, live, and remember today.
