For twenty years Major S. was an officer in the GDR's Ministry for State Security. When the ministry was dissolved in February 1990, shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Major S. was about to be dismissed.
On his last day in the office, he gives a detailed account of his professional activities over the past 20 years - but he is not seen: the "life report" of Mr S., who was always passionate and convinced about his work, comes from off-screen and is illustrated by the filmmakers in an associative manner with footage from the Stasi archives, as well as with footage from private and public archives: Stasi training films, recordings of interrogations, everyday footage.
