Feature-length documentary about the history of the underrated capital of Lower Saxony. Not only about often circulated connections between politics, (insurance) industry and the red light area, but also about the history of the "political Hannover", which has become nothing less than a political powerhouse of Germany. This concerns mainly the terms of office of Ernst Albrecht, Gerhard Schröder and Christian Wulff, their election campaigns and competitions.
The events surrounding the resignation of Christian Wulff also play a significant role.
