Back after a sellout in September. Evicted from her flat, Berlin student Jule moves in with her boyfriend Peter and soon learns that Peter and his flatmate, Jan, are breaking into the homes of middle class suburbans at night. Instead of stealing or vandalising, though, they carefully and ornately rearrange furniture and valuables, leaving messages such as "Your Days of Plenty Are Numbered" (the original German title of the film) as a mark of their naive political intent. However their idealistic activities are shattered when their meticulously planned civil disturbances have unforseen repercussions and they are forced to take desperate measures.
A perceptive political tale of our times featuring another superb performance from hot German actors Daniel Brühl (GOODBYE LENIN!) and Julia Jentsch (SOFIE SCHOLL)
