Demolition West, reconstruction Far East: After only eight years of operation, the hypermodern Kaiserstuhl coking plant, which cost DM 1.3 billion, is shut down. 400 Chinese workers dismantle it in the Ruhr area and ship it back home. The last Dortmund cokers have to help the Chinese dismantle their own workplace. For a year and a half, filmmakers Ulrike Franke and Michael Loeken followed the dismantling of a gigantic industrial plant and documented stories along the way: how the cokers in the Ruhr region experience the arrival and working methods of the Chinese and what they feel when they see their pride disappear along with the world's most modern coking plant.
