The film has both dramatic and purely documentary aspects, following a German farming family as they have their farm foreclosed on, are forced to move to the city and eventually return to farming in the
German East. The documentary uses both
animation and
montage to present the case that the German farmer is suffering because alleged Jewish financial interests flood the market with foreign produce, refuse to lend money for the manufacture of farming equipment and foreclose on people's farms. An unseen narrator encourages viewers to purchase only domestic goods and return to rural agrarian life. The depression-era trend of urbanization is condemned as a path to further poverty, decadence, and sub-replacement fertility. The film ultimately predicts
Berlin's population dwindling to 90,000 by 2050, if immigration to the city had been blocked. ==Production==
