"Album 2017 - Pictures of a Year" looks back on an eventful and moving year 2017. Islamist terror hits Manchester, Barcelona and London, and in Germany a bus carrying soccer players is attacked out of greed. In the USA, President Trump is sworn in, and in Germany the AfD moves into the German Bundestag. The G20 summit in Hamburg is shaken by massive riots, and the power struggle in Venezuela claims hundreds of lives. The British government requests the final "Brexit", and in Strasbourg there is a European funeral for former chancellor Helmut Kohl. In Catalonia, the Spanish government cracks down on the separatists, and in London dozens of people die in a high-rise fire. After long squabbles, Air Berlin finally flies for the last time, and in Hamburg, the Elbe Philharmonic Hall is ceremonially opened after many years of construction. The storms "Xavier" and "Hewart" cause severe damage, and later frost in April destroys large parts of the fruit blossom.
