"The Last Days of Tacheles" is a collective film written and directed by the last artists that resided at Tacheles Art House in Berlin, produced by Stefano Casertano and meant as a final act of art dedicated to this cultural initiative. Tacheles Art House was a community of some 100 independent artists residing in a building in the center of Berlin, visited by some 500,000 people every year. The building was cleared in September 2012, but some artists kept on squatting the backyard under snow, rain and sometimes sun. This is the story of this group of artists and their attempts to resist eviction (and "gentrification" at large), find a new place and keep on making art. The artists engage in blunt acts of rebellion and seek ways to resettle in the most diverse places, including a former Cold War espionage station on the outskirts of Berlin, and a villa in Turkey. After various failed initiatives, when everything is lost, a new hope seems to rise, but a part of Berlin may be gone forever.
