This documentary features the socialenterprise Die Schlumper from Hamburg, Germany. It was just by chance that in 1984 a group of so-called mentally handicapped people who felt the urge to paint began to meet with the painter Rolf Laute in the basement of the Townhouse Schlump near the Schlump subway station in Hamburg, Germany. Today the Schlumper artist group consists of about 30 men and women between the ages of 20 and 80 (find more about The Schlumper here: www.schlumper.de.
