The film tells the story of the manor house rescuers and their life projects in dynamic retrospectives from ten years of "With courage, mortar and without millions".
The most beautiful scenes from the films produced so far are reclassified and supplemented and emotionalized by current interviews of the main protagonists. They comment on the events from today's perspective, talk about failures, reveal one or the other secret and rejoice over successes. In the process, previously untold background stories are also brought up.
