Along the railroad tracks in Halle-Trotha, where city and countryside merge, people live on the outskirts of the city. Far away from the urban center, they spend their everyday lives between factories and ruins, supermarkets and wild nature. While Wolfgang is stranded on the river with his boat and has found a new home here, Wilma and Eberhard Schneider have lived on the outskirts of the city since childhood. A few houses away, a Buddhist meditates in a converted factory building. Sometimes the smell of the dog food factory is in the air and the clattering of the horse-drawn carriage echoes through the streets. "Stadtrand" tells of a place that is rarely noticed and yet everyone knows it.
