Descrição: The film shows the the factory halls, presumably of the Ford plants in Cologne, and the work processes of the workers at the machines. Transport vehicles are loaded. Workers read notices with information for the plant employees. A woman hands out margarine to a worker. The second part of the film shows a woman making a bed. Children are sleeping or lying awake in the bed above which a cross is placed. A woman washes clothes in a washing tub in front of the house. Two children are playing next to her. Children stand at the stove and wait for soup to be given to them. Bread gets cut. Soup and bread are prepared as a snack package (for the father?). Since the 1910s, Oskar Barnack, the inventor of the Leica, had captured events around Wetzlar on film with his self-constructed film camera. He documented flood disasters, city festivals, medical experiments, sporting events and the company where he was employed as chief designer: the Optical Works Ernst Leitz in Wetzlar. His films form the basis of a film archive in which local history has the same place as the effects of great historical events.
