Friedland. Transit camp. Returnees in transition. — What happened in the weeks between release and return to real life? Before they came home, they came to Friedland. The transit camp was the first German reality they encountered after years of captivity — registration, medical care, brief interviews. And then: alone. This film analyzes the reception camps as an institutional transition system: What did they provide? What was lacking? How were hundreds of thousands of men prepared in just a few weeks for a life that no longer awaited them? And what happened when the system was overwhelmed?
