On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of unification, ZDF presenter Maybrit Illner and Lutz van der Horst investigate present-day German reality, combining analytical assessments and reviews with a dash of humour: “Are we a people?” Do East and West Germans really share an emotional unity? Maybrit Illner talks to Minister of Finance Wolfgang Schäuble, historian Heinrich August Winkler, actors Katrin Sass and Jan Josef Liefers, cabaret artist Michael Mittermeier and journalists Özlem Topçu and Hans-Ulrich Jörges.
