This opulent requiem has been tested on East Germans, as a really tough experiment. Before it can be shown to West Germans, they need a guarantee that no one will be seriously harmed! The film tells the story of East German musicians who regrouped following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and sought their place in the new society. Humorously, it tells of a "period of escalating possibilities" that lasted for ten years, until West German routines caught up even with the people of East Germany.

Despite all indications to the contrary, the filmmakers insist that "Look Out! We’re Coming to Get You" is a gentle film that’s only superficially loud. Its entertainment value lies in the fact that it challenges the viewer – so much, in fact, that he or she may have to see it a second time. The rhythm of the editing and the method of storytelling it employs reflect the direct, powerful music of Feeling B and Rammstein, Blind Passengers, Cultus Ferox, Die Skeptiker, The Inchtabokatables and Freygang. The filmmakers prefer to think of the film as the last East German movie ever produced. It pleads with viewers not to let themselves be coopted by an omnipotent economy, now that an omnipotent ideology has vanished. As one of Aljoscha’s favorite slogans put it, "Socialism or capitalism, we’ll always come out on top!"
