The former Nazi concentration camp of Sachsenhausen, near Berlin, has become a popular tourist destination. A strange, connected tribe roams across it in all directions, smartphones at the ready. In static long takes, Loznitsa observes the group as it itself observes, watches the rituals and meditates on the meaning of this place of memory that has become a consumer good like any other.
