In the 1970s, a rebellious commune was founded in the still wild Munich district of Schwabing in a spirit of optimism. For 45 years, different people found their place in the apartment again and again, shaping different ways of living and living together in each generation. Today, two young filmmakers live in the flat share and set off in search of clues: DIE WG tells stories about the goals and hopes, worries and ideals of different generations and the changing zeitgeist of an apartment. The film reflects on the places and people from our past and the significance of living in a shared flat as a stage of life.
