From East German icon to Europe's ultimate cult car, the Trabant is arguably the most unique car ever made. This documentary tells the intriguing story of the Trabant built out of cotton and resin due to scarce resources by a number of brilliant engineers who defied an oppressive regime and the harsh realities of the cold war. Built for three decades, the car becomes worthless at the fall of the wall. Against all expectation it achieves unprecedented cult status within a few years.
