The everyday life of fascism, its banalities, shabbiness and meanness, are addressed in this documentary. Ulm, the city of Albert Einstein and of the Scholl siblings, well known for their youthful resistance to fascism, becomes the place where history is felt and experienced. 
Twelve women, four Jews and eight Christians, now in their seventies, tell of their youth in this South German city. The Christian women still reside there, while their former Jewish classmates live in Israel or the United States. Their memories of the same place, during the same period of time, could not be more different. Made with never before seen archive material, Kinderland - Cinderland is a touching film of many layers, and has been highly praised by German film critics and viewers.
