Aggregate

About This Movie

Aggregate is an intriguing documentary that dives into the pulse of German democracy through everyday interactions within the Reichstag. The film captures this odd juxtaposition of laughter during tours and moments of discontent expressed by citizens, which creates an interesting tension. The pacing feels deliberate—there’s a kind of rhythm to the conversations that unfolds organically, giving space for voices to emerge. The workshops with SPD parliamentarians feel especially poignant, as they grapple with strategies that seem to resonate more with their own ideals than with the populace. It’s the kind of film that doesn’t shy away from the messiness of political life, making it a distinct exploration of how democracy is lived rather than just theorized.
