Summary:Nerven: Writer, producer, director Robert Reinert tries to capture the nervous epidemic caused by war and misery which drives people mad. His portrait of the life in 1919 Germany, filmed on location in Munich, describes the cases of different people from all levels of society. Factory owner Roloff loses his mind in view of catastrophes and social disturbances. Teacher John is the hero of the masses. Marja turns into a radical revolutionary. Using different fragments the Munich Film Museum was able to reconstruct this forgotten German classic; a unique historical document and a precursor of the 1920s expressionist cinema. Bilder von der Volksbewegung in München is a compilation of newreel footage showing soldiers and other crowds during the Munich uprising of 1919. München im Zeichen der Räteregierung is an original newsreel of the time on the same topic
