Insults, defamation, hooliganism. The culture of discussion in parliament is at an all-time low. It is difficult to distinguish the opposition from the government coalition, because everyone is equally at odds.

But how can we find common ground again? Bärbel Bas has sentenced three MPs to detention. A mediator is needed. What works in strikes must also work in the Bundestag.
Can this work if backbenchers have to go back to school? A coach is supposed to teach debate culture, trust exercises, mindfulness and relaxation exercises.
But the fronts are hardened, and not only verbal escalation is taking place. What can we do when anger management fails and frustration tolerance approaches zero? Even a family constellation with Strack-Zimmermann doesn't help the FDP. The Chancellor is practicing in a silent seminar: "Governing without words." And the Greens want to find their inner balance again with hate yoga.
Service staff and top politicians get lost in the seminar room and at some point time even runs backwards. The MPs look into the abyss, but not even that looks back. Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is just an oncoming tractor.
A crash course in democracy. Until someone cries.
This show is only played in German.
