NETFLIX PRESENTS

[train passing]

THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY IS A DEMOCRATIC AND SOCIAL STATE.

[grunts]

ALL GERMANS HAVE THE RIGHT TO RESIST ANYONE

WHO SEEKS TO ABOLISH THIS CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER

IF NO OTHER REMEDY IS AVAILABLE.

ART. 20, SECTION 4 OF THE GERMAN CONSTITUTION

[breathing heavily]

[horn blares]

IF YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH TOO

-[squeals] -[both giggle]

-Where were you? -Hello.

This is Luisa.

-[man 1] Hello. -Hi.

[man 1] Come on!

[woman 1] The food is so shit, you wouldn't want it for free.

-[man 2] Here you go, Ninja. -[Ninja] Nice!

That's great. Oh, thank you!

[groans, laughs]

[woman 1] These tomatoes are so fresh, they're not even ripe yet!

[man 2] Am I invited?

Potato soup with rotten meat and moldy apple juice?

[woman 1] Why are you always first at the table when I'm cooking?

-Sssh! -[man 1 on walkie] Everything's quiet.

[dog barks]

-[man 1] Are you going around? -[man 2] Yes, we're walking over now.

[nervous breathing]

[distant sirens]

[woman] We still haven't sorted the wiring.

We got several quotes.

But it's just too expensive. We'll have to do it ourselves.

That's what I think, at least.

How many do we have?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Eight is good.

One last thing.

-Batte? -[Batte] Yes.

This is Luisa. Luisa?

Yes, hello. I'm Luisa. I went to school with Batte.

We were both on the student council and also refugee support and Antifa.

It was just us two.

[all chuckle]

What you're doing here is great and I would like to be part of it.

I'm a first-year law student.

And, I don't know, what else should I say?

Know anything about gardening?

Sure, she's a country bumpkin.

-Grew up on a farm? -Yes, something like that.

[woman] How do you make a living? Do you have a job?

Right now, my parents support me.

I've known Luisa forever. I totally vouch for her.

Besides, it would be great for another woman to move in.

I think it's cool that you study law. You can help the group with legal stuff.

Sure, I'd be happy to.

Does anyone have any questions for Luisa?

[Luisa] Should I…

[woman] That's it. We'll meet again shortly, about the protest.

[Batte] Come, I'll show you the room you can have.

They were not impressed.

They want people who get involved and are not just here to party.

-Is that what they think? -Of course not.

What are you doing here?

Omelet.

But not to escalate things.

Batte, what could possibly escalate?

Anyway, you could turn this into a nice room.

It's been a storage room until now.

[woman shouts] Can we all get together again, please?

[man] We believe that security at the protest

consists entirely of members

of the outlawed Southern Homeland Protection.

Which means their paychecks come straight from the party's coffers.

That's Niemann, on the right. And again.

This is his lapdog. We don't know his name yet.

If anyone takes photos or videos of these guys, send them to me.

License plates for one or two wouldn't be bad either.

They'll all be there on Saturday.

Fifty eyes see more than two.

But careful. Don't mess with them.

Thank you for your time.

-[indistinct chatter] -[Batte] Guys! Listen up, please.

Keep it peaceful.

We are happy that so many groups in Mannheim responded to our call.

We just want to make some noise, shake things up a bit.

But please, only a peaceful protest against these assholes, okay?

Everyone knows what to do?

Peppa?

Peppa, can you make the banner with Luisa?

Anyone wants to come train with me?

In ten minutes?

No street clothes, okay?

[indistinct conversation]

Sorry.

HATE IS

[indistinct music playing]

Hey. No gawking. Join in or leave.

[scoffs]

[ship horn blares]

[door opens]

-Bye! -[woman] Bye, darling.

-Will you be home for dinner? -[Luisa] Not sure yet.

-Okay. -Shall I give you a lift?

[Luisa] Uh-oh.

-Go back to bed. -Okay.

Bye.

-[whistles] Bye. Come here. -[dog whines]

-[Luisa] Ciao. -[woman] Ciao!

[man on PA] Next stop, Mannheim Central Station.

-Hi! -[Batte] Hey! Hello.

Hello.

-All good? -All good.

-Have they said anything yet? -Not yet.

-If they were interested, wouldn't they… -Nope.

[both giggle]

-[Batte] My muscles are so sore. -[both laugh]

[lecturer] The right to resist anyone who tries to destroy

the free democratic, constitutional order

as described in sections one, two and three,

is hereby legally secured.

What does that mean in practice, hmm?

When does this right apply?

[student 1] Only when it's too late.

-After a coup, for example. -[lecturer] Hmm.

[lecturer] After the constitutional order has already been removed. Question is…

Shouldn't this right apply

before the constitutional order is jeopardized?

Shouldn't it be allowed

to fight those preparing an anti-democratic coup?

[lecturer] Yes?

The police and the judiciary should be called on first.

The right only applies, when all remedies have been removed.

-Correct. -And if they've been undermined?

Yes, even then.

Even if the authorities are violating fundamental rights, like now?

[lecturer] How so?

[student 2] Well, the right of Germans to be safe.

To be protected from illegal immigrants.

Are you crazy?

-This is not what we are discussing… -[indistinct debating]

[heated debate continues]

I don't think you understand…

[calmly] Mistrust towards the authorities

was the reason the right to resist was introduced.

-[students shush] -[lecturer] Our history explains it.

High school history curriculum. Time to brush up on it.

[protesters shouting]

[indistinct chants]

[indistinct announcement over PA]

[applause]

[woman on PA] Our country, once so sound,

is falling apart.

And the erosion of our rights continues, ladies and gentlemen.

I refer to mass violation, ladies and gentlemen.

-[crowd boos] -Mass… Quiet, please!

[protester] We are diverse, we are many, we are loud!

[man on PA] This is an authorized event. Please stop disrupting.

[protester] We are against the politics of fear mongering,

of misinformation and exclusion!

FOR A DIVERSE GERMANY

We are against the political exploitation of sole perpetrators.

[speech continues on PA] …who are simply exercising their civil rights.

We will not repeat the mistakes of the past

but will do everything

to protect the democratic values of our society.

-[PA] Again, disruptions from the left… -[camera clicks]

[in Spanish] Alerta! Antifascista!

[crowd in Spanish] Alerta! Alerta! Antifacista!

Hey!

[speech continues] People want to hear us.

They want to hear us. And they want to vote for us.

The established parties won't admit it.

[all booing]

[indistinct protest]

[woman on PA] …we have to say it loud and clear,

you are accomplices, ladies and gentlemen.

-Accomplices! -[in Spanish] Antifascista!

[crowd chants in Spanish] Alerta! Alerta! Antifascista!

[woman shouts] They are saying, do not enter.

We've had enough!

[thump]

-[woman] And we demand… -[crowd cheers]

…for our women,

and daughters, instead of borders--

[crowd cheers]

[cheers]

[crowd cheering, jeering]

[cheers]

[Batte] Mannheim stays diverse!

Hey!

Bitch!

[Batte yells]

[Batte] Get off me! Let me go! Ouch!

[Batte] Let me go!

Hey!

[Batte] Let me go!

-[tires screech] -[car horn blares]

[man 1 yells] Stop!

[Luisa screams]

[screams in pain]

[man 1] Where is it?

[Luisa yells]

[man 1] Give it back.

Bitch!

[metallic clunk]

[man 2] Come on!

Come!

-[police whistles] -[tires screech]

[panting]

Are you okay?

[gasping]

-[man] Show me. -[Luisa] I'm okay.

Yes?

-Yes. -Okay.

Come!

[distant sirens blaring]

-[Ninja] Got any? -[man 1] Hang on. Here.

[man 2] Hey.

-[Batte] Shit, that was close. -[Ninja] Where were you?

We thought you got detained or something.

-[Batte] It doesn't look good. -I'm fine.

It's not okay that you participate in something so crazy.

She didn't participate in anything crazy.

We organized a great protest.

The guy attacked us after you threw a fucking paint egg at him.

He got a bit of paint on him. So what?

You wanted to pull the plug. We just wanted to have fun with pies.

Instead, they are seen as the victims and P81 gets the blame.

It sucks!

I'm happy to put that asshole into hospital for three days.

Might even save a life! Next time, don't bring a rookie.

Stop talking shit, Alfa.

Thanks, anyway.

Anyway… bam, bam, boom!

Come back to P with us.

I'd rather go home.

-I'll walk you to the station. -[Luisa] Please don't.

Okay.

PLEASE ENTER PIN

[passenger coughing]

[keys clicking]

[cell rings]

Fuck!

[gasping]

[screams, sobs]

[Batte] Luisa?

Can I come over?

[panting]

You can move in, by the way.

-Really? -[Batte] Yes.

Everyone approved.

-What? -[Batte] You.

Everything.

[shrieks]

[Luisa chuckles]

[both groan]

FORM GANGS

[sobs]

[sobbing]

[inhales deeply]

[ship horn blares]

[Ninja] What's this?

-Maybe push it back a bit? -Yes.

P81

-Look, there's more. -[Peppa] Just put it there.

[indistinct men's voices]

-[Alfa] Have a good day. -You too.

[Alfa] Ciao.

[Alfa] Two more, then jump. Okay?

[rap music playing]

[Alfa grunts]

Good! Switch partners!

Come here.

Yes. Yes!

[rap music continues]

[grunts]

[grunts in pain]

Leo, don't pull through. And you, keep covering.

-You get one in the face, you're out. -[Luisa] Mm-hmm.

Good. Thanks.

[Alfa] The second time, jump please.

Faster.

Faster.

Switch partners!

Your friend who takes the pictures,

can you give me his number?

Lenor? He's not into girls.

[Luisa] I want to ask him something.

It's just a burner phone.

Usually nothing on it.

The guy really wanted it back.

-He just wanted to hit you. -He wanted the phone back.

I'll take a look.

Great.

-[Lenor] When did you turn it off? -[Luisa] Same day.

I freaked out when it rang.

I know the number off by heart.

-You could see a number? -[Luisa] Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

Yes, hang on.

Here you go.

[Lenor] Okay.

These are the photos from the protest.

[Lenor] Your friend.

They're at every party event now.

Right-wing militants.

-[Luisa] You have to post these. -[Lenor] I do.

You get five likes and three angry emojis.

ATTEMPTS 3

Let's try the obvious.

Eight, eight, eight, eight.

PLEASE WAIT

-[cell pings] -[laughs]

[Lenor] It worked.

[Luisa reads] Hemsdorf. Battue. Parking lot. Rotkreuzweg. Maisenstraße.

Hemsdorf.

Concerned citizens protest there every week

since a woman was stabbed there.

Ideal situation for a small pogrom.

It's in the middle of nowhere!

And now?

Hmm.

We'll go and check it out. And then we decide.

Okay.

It went well, you being there last time.

Exactly.

That's where I got the phone.

[lecturer] …about complaints by associations

that have not been recognized as registered parties in the elections,

about accusations by the parliament and upper house

against the President,

about the interpretation of the constitution

due to disagreements about the rights and duties

of the highest legislative body or others involved,

that are provided

by the constitution or by the procedural rules

of the highest legislative body.

-Can you take notes for me? -Sure. Where are you going?

Excuse me. May I? Thanks.

[lecturer] …or the compatibility of state law…

[Alfa] Cool.

[Lenor] Hold this.

How far is it?

[Lenor] Sixty kilometers.

[Alfa] It's looking good.

What exactly is looking good?

The Nazis will walk along this path across the highway to the city center.

They'll strike, come back, and off on the highway.

-Easy to see. -But us too.

Yes, wait a second.

They are already gawking.

[Alfa] Not because of us.

With ten or 12 of us, we'll be quick.

[Lenor] This field is the local dog toilet.

Will be busy on weekends.

So positive, as usual.

-You know how it goes. -[Alfa] Yep.

And if it rains, we'll get wet.

We could take umbrellas, for once.

[Alfa] Where is the tunnel?

Here!

There.

[train rumbling]

[Alfa] Not too bad!

Yet another weekend down the drain. And 300 bucks for rentals.

-Could you go get the car? -[Luisa] Why?

To check the escape route.

Is he always like that?

Not always.

I could borrow a car, a good one. From my parents.

That'll cheer him up.

You'd rather be here without me.

Nonsense. He only came because of you.

I was surprised you were in his room earlier.

He doesn't let anyone in. Except his friends.

[door slams]

With our people and those from Frankfurt and Nuremberg, we'll be 12.

-Does slashing tires make much noise? -Nope.

-All good? -Yes.

Thank you.

You could be on the withdrawal team.

To blow the whistle, in case they come back early.

Let's see.

-What about you? -I'll be the driver.

Being too close to the action isn't for me.

By the way, don't tell Batte.

We'll call on her for pie throwing and other fun events.

[Luisa] Mm-hmm.

-But-- -What?

Nothing.

[music pounding from inside]

[indistinct chatter]

[Alfa] Hi.

[Batte] Yes, sure. Come on in guys, it's ten euros.

Have fun!

-Hello. -[Ninja] Hello!

[Luisa] Hey.

-Sorry I had to rush out earlier. -Yeah, you forgot your phone. Here.

-Come, here is your stamp. -[Luisa] Oh yeah.

Alfa, you have to pay!

-Hey, Alfa! -I'm on the guest list.

No guest list. Guest lists are elitist crap.

I'll pay for you.

No, it's fine, thanks.

Yes, thanks.

-It's okay, Batte. Thanks. -[Batte giggles]

[Batte whistles]

Treat yourself. [laughs]

[rap music playing]

[rhythmic music playing]

[snorts]

I'll be right back, okay?

Okay.

[music continues]

[crowd cheering, laughing]

[rock music playing]

[Lenor] Has he gone?

Don't know.

I hate Alfa.

[Luisa laughs]

[both chuckle]

Me too.

[Lenor] I'm out of here.

[girl laughing]

You girls have it so easy.

[mimics girl's voice] Alfa, want to get political with me?

[sighs]

-[Luisa grunts] -[girl laughing]

[Luisa] Shit.

[dance music playing]

[crowd singing along]

[Batte] A few people will crash at ours tonight.

Cool.

[Batte] Want to do a shot with us?

-I'm off to bed. -[Batte] Sweet dreams.

Thanks.

[moaning]

[heavy breathing]

[Alfa moaning]

[gunshot]

-[dogs barking] -[hunting horn playing]

-[whispers] Can I go now? -[whispers] Why don't you stay for lunch?

-Then you can take the car. -Sure?

-Yes. -I'll head home now.

-[man 1] Good hunting. -[woman] Thank you.

[man 1] Stephan?

-Good hunting. -[man 3] Thank you.

-You still don't eat meat? -[Luisa] Nope.

Vegans are the only ones who could save the world.

-I'm vegetarian. -Okay, vegetarians too.

Look at our friend here.

Ate nothing but grass all his life. And what for?

[man 1] Such a shame. You were always our best shot.

[Luisa] Mm-hmm.

Luisa lives in a commune now.

In the city.

With a vegetable garden on the roof.

-Free love, and plenum in the evening. -[man 1] Sounds wonderful!

[man 2] Yes.

Yes. I always say,

those under 30 and not on the left have no heart.

Those over 30 and still on the left have no brain.

Dad, can I take your car?

-Take Mom's. -Can I take yours?

It has to be, right?

Thank you so much.

[chuckles] You're welcome.

You are my honey.

[dog whines]

[whispers] Oh, sweetie.

[mother sighs]

[mother] You're leaving already?

-[Luisa] Yes, I have to go. -[mother] You're not eating with us?

No, I'll stay longer next weekend. Okay, Mom?

[mother] What a shame.

I've got… a bag here.

A bag with clothes. Here, look.

-Two old jackets from Dad. -[Luisa] Mm-hmm?

[mother] And here, a nice scarf.

And Beate, is it nice?

-Yes. -[mother] You two study well together?

-Totally. -[mother] You've got enough time to study?

I always wondered about Beate.

Whether she had what it takes to study.

Yes, totally.

-[mother] She's so busy. -No one wants this.

I wore this just last year. You don't want it for your refugees?

[Luisa] Mom, they are not our refugees.

They just want normal clothes.

-I should declutter again too. -Mom, that's enough.

But this one is good.

-[Luisa] Okay, put it in. -Sure?

-Thanks, Mom. -[both moan, kiss]

-[mother] Take care. -I will.

-Bye! -Love you.

Let's go.

[engine starts]

[opera aria playing]

[Ninja] Great. Put this on.

-This is so nice. -It's not too nice?

[Luisa laughs]

[opera aria continues]

Joachim Vinzenz Christian Baron?

My dad. That's our name.

-[Alfa] Are you some old-school gentry? -Yup.

Something like that.

To the opera with Mom and Dad every Sunday?

[siren blares]

-[Lenor] Shit, man. -[Leo] What do they want?

-[Alfa] Fuck. -[Lenor] I said take the highway.

[Alfa] Who knew they would close it here already?

[Lenor] Look at that.

The fascists are here already.

-Hello. -[officer 1] Hello.

ID check. Driver's license, registration.

Is there a soccer game?

-ID please. -[Alfa] Sorry, we don't have any on us.

-[officer 2] That is not good. -We couldn't have known.

-Where are you going? -[Luisa] My cousin's wedding.

We're running a bit late.

She's got a bridal bouquet to catch.

No, I don't, and before we marry, you need to learn some manners.

Thank you.

We'd like to take a look in the trunk.

[indistinct conversation]

[helicopter flying overhead]

[officer 2] All right, you can go.

-[Luisa] Thanks. Have a good day. -[officer 2] Drive safely.

[officer 1] Enjoy the party.

[Luisa gasps]

Yes!

[laughs]

If I married you, would I be a baron?

-You'd like that, wouldn't you? -[all chuckle]

[opera music louder]

[indistinct greetings]

Hi.

-Hi. -Hi.

-Hegor. -Luisa. Hegor?

[Alfa] Okay. Let's go.

So…

The tunnel that we'll come back through later.

Back there, the parking lot where the Nazis will park.

We have balaclavas, gloves, and raincoats for you to put on.

-[indistinct conversation] -[train screeching]

-[Alfa] We wait. -[Hegor] How long?

We will wait until the parking lot is full and the fascists are all in town.

-How long will that be? -[Lenor] The text said 5:00 p.m.

[car approaching]

-[car doors close] -[indistinct greetings]

-[man 1] Hello. -[man 2] Hi. Hey, Bowerle!

-[man 3] Hey. -[man 4] Hey.

-[man 1] Hi. -[man 2] Hey, babe.

[indistinct chatter]

-[man 1] Good day. -[man 2] Hello.

WE ARE HEMSDORF

[Luisa] Hemsdorf women's union.

STAND UP FOR OUR HOMELAND

-[officer] Can I see your ID please? -[Alfa] We live just over there.

[officer] You can quickly pass. Hurry up, please.

We need backup.

-[man 1] You want some more? -[man 2] While we're at it.

[officer] Keep it under control!

Can you please leave the area?

At the moment we can't guarantee your friends' safety.

-Please step back. Come on, drive through. -[whistle blows]

-[officer] Come on, move! -[indistinct shouts, thumps]

[officer] We need backup here. Take care of him!

I need an ambulance. In Hemsdorf, right now.

Some right-wingers are beating up foreigners.

-Step back please. -Yes, we'll go that way.

[officer] Yes, down that road.

[Alfa] That's mine.

[Lenor] Expanding foam, guys.

-[Leo] You've got everything? -[Alfa] Yes? Okay, let's go.

[glass shatters]

-[air hissing] -[cracks]

-[grunting] -[glass shatters]

[glass shatters]

[jubilant yell]

-[whistle blows] -[Lenor] Let's go! It's enough. Let's go!

Run!

[Lenor] Let's go! Out, now!

Stop it!

[Lenor] Come now!

Let's go!

[Luisa panting]

[Luisa] Watch out!

If they haven't gotten here by now, they won't come.

Alfa, that's too dangerous. Let's go.

-No. -[Lenor] Alfa.

-That was not the plan. -[Alfa] No!

Why?

They are not expecting us.

We'll smash their faces.

-Who's in? -[man] Me.

Come.

[Lenor] Fuck.

[panting]

[Alfa] Another half hour.

[Leo] That's what you said two hours ago.

[indistinct conversation]

[Hegor] They are coming.

Ten guys, three women.

[Alfa] Let's go!

[man 1] Hey, my mirror is broken! Shit!

[Hegor] Hey Nazi pigs!

[man 2] Bastard!

[girl screams]

[grunting, screaming]

[gas hisses]

[Luisa coughing]

[glass shatters]

-Hey! -[Luisa groans]

-[woman yells] -[Luisa whimpers]

-[woman yells] -[Luisa screams]

[Alfa] Hey!

-[Alfa] Let's go! Everyone out! Out! -Hey, bastard!

[sirens blaring]

[Alfa] Let's go!

[officer over loudspeaker] Attention. Attention. This is the police.

Lie down on the ground and put your hands behind your head.

[Luisa groaning]

[flare shots]

[Lenor] Alfa!

[Lenor] Come on!

[Luisa screams]

[Lenor] I'll get the car.

[Alfa] Stand up! Walk!

-[Luisa] I can't! -[Alfa] Okay. Come on, up.

[agonized grunt]

[police sirens blaring]

[breathing heavily]

[shaky breathing]

[Luisa whimpers]

[indistinct conversation]

[Luisa panting]

[sobs]

[scissors clatter]

[screams]

Okay?

[Luisa] It's okay.

[man] This is going to sting a little.

This will help.

[screams]

[gasping]

[man] Now we have to wait for it go numb.

And then?

[man] Then I'll patch you back up.

Are you a doctor?

Something like that.

-Who is he? -[Lenor] Dietmar.

He's reliable.

He used to be a big wheel in the Revolutionary Cells.

He blew something up in Frankfurt and then went to jail.

[Luisa] And how he's patching up my leg?

[Dietmar] Potato chips.

Cheers.

[bottles clink]

[Lenor] Cheers.

[Dietmar] What you're doing is bullshit, if you ask me.

It's a nice leg.

You can't go beating up every Nazi.

As soon as you're finished, you start again.

Dietmar, these chips are expired.

You need a woman around the house, Dietmar.

[Luisa gasps]

[Dietmar] Soon, your leg will start to throb pretty badly.

Take 30 drops of Novalgin, every four hours.

[chanting on TV]

[disgusted groan]

[Luisa] Thanks.

Later, clashes between right-wing and left-wing protesters

resulted in six people being injured.

In Frankfurt and Stuttgart, right-wing groups gathered

for so-called citizen's marches.

Near Rothenburg, there was an explosion in a guesthouse accommodating refugees.

[Lenor sighs]

That was a fucking disaster.

-I'd do it again. -[Dietmar] No, that's the Novalgin.

Okay, friends.

Single bed or double bed?

[birdsong]

DROPS

[deep sigh]

Batte says you've been with everyone who's been to P81.

That's true.

Not with me.

Not with me either.

[laughs]

Lenor said I wasn't allowed to.

That's also true.

Why?

[Alfa] He says you take things too seriously.

That's not true.

We could've gotten 100 people via Facebook and shown up there in big numbers.

We agreed that it was okay to use violence.

Against things, Alfa! Not against people.

It was not self-defense.

Are you crazy, discussing this in here?

With your phone in your pocket, I bet? I'd quite like to stay living here.

Now get out, all of you.

Seriously, you've lost it.

[Alfa] Why? If more people dared to act, we wouldn't have this problem.

-Wouldn't have hurt in 1933 either. -Read the news.

[Alfa] Yes. Peaceful resistance against Nazis?

Peppa, that's total bullshit.

It was a total failure.

-We have to do more to counter them. -[Batte] Really?

What are those Nazis doing now?

They are angry, really angry.

And who's going to pay? You, Alfa?

No, it'll be someone somewhere who had nothing to do with this.

Fuck!

-[Leo] It won't happen again. -Come on, let's go.

[indistinct conversation]

[indistinct music playing]

[grunts in pain]

[sighs]

You wanted to be on the legal team. I fucking vouched for you.

I'm sorry.

Come here.

[sighs]

[sighs deeply]

[indistinct men's voices]

[indistinct conversation continues]

[grunts]

Is that okay?

[Luisa] A bit more to the left!

LEGALIZE P81 NOW!

Crap, look at this.

IF YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH TOO

[Peppa screams] Fuck! No, don't! No!

-[Batte] Hey, what's wrong? -[Peppa yells] Fucking hell!

-Assholes! -[Ninja] Shit.

[Batte] It's okay, Peppa.

[Peppa] They put broken glass into the glue.

-[Batte] No way! -It's all under my nails.

[Batte] Enough!

[car horn blares]

-[Ninja] This one is for Peppa! -[Batte] Hey!

Stop! Hey, what's the point, Luisa?

[Peppa] Let's go!

[singing in Italian]

-Hi. -[Alfa] Hi.

Where to?

Camping.

Sure.

[Luisa] Manfred Röhler.

Was a big wheel in the militant right in the '90s.

'80s, actually.

Spent six years in jail for several bomb attacks.

[Alfa] That's him.

At the '97 protest against Wehrmacht in Munich.

[Lenor] He hasn't been seen for a few years.

But the number from the phone you obtained is under his name.

It's very strange that he's resurfaced.

We thought we'd take a look at where this fine gentleman lives.

And you have nothing better to do?

No.

Not really.

Manfred?

[indistinct voice on phone]

I'll stay anonymous, they're listening in.

The state police will search your house tomorrow.

[indistinct voice]

General operation against national resistance.

The explosion in Rothenburg. It got too big in the press.

No, thank you, Manfred.

-[Luisa snorts] -[Lenor] For a lifetime of resistance.

[Alfa and Luisa chuckle]

[Alfa] What got into you?

He's still alive. And he's active.

[all chuckle]

[Luisa] Look, he turned on the lights.

Weird,

how there are normal people living normal lives.

[Alfa] You could be one of them.

You, perhaps.

Alfa is continuing his courses at uni.

-Yes, I… -What is it? You are.

[Alfa] What's this about, Lenor?

You hide at your parents' to study. I think that's great.

I'd do the same, if I were you.

[Alfa] Hey. Why are you bringing this up now?

-Because she takes things so seriously. -And I don’t?

Yes. That's my point.

When will you finish?

In three semesters?

Then I'll be here on my own.

And you'll be cozy in that living room.

-Yes. I'll bring pizza out to you. -[scoffs] Yeah, exactly.

[Alfa] Hmm?

[car approaching]

[indistinct conversation]

[engine starts]

What? Follow them.

[Alfa] Go.

Now, or we'll lose them!

[Lenor] They spotted us.

Next, we'll get a rock through the windshield.

Lights off.

[engine stops]

[gates rattling]

[engine fades]

[Lenor] Give me your hand. Careful, come on.

[Luisa grunts]

[clatter]

[glass shatters]

[dog barks]

[Alfa whispers] Here.

[Lenor] Come here!

-[whispers] You got something? -[Lenor] Yes.

Yes, it's all here. Check this out.

[Alfa gasps] Fuck!

-[Lenor] Pack it all up. -German Community Center South.

[Lenor] Member lists of the Viking Youth from the '90s.

[Luisa] "Opening Party.

You are invited to the Community Center for Midsummer Night."

[Lenor whispers] Put it in.

[Luisa] That's the Saturday after next.

[Alfa] Holy crap, dude.

[Luisa gasps]

[Luisa] What's that?

Holy shit.

[whispers] Shit! Shit!

[Lenor] What is it? Oh, fuck.

-It's explosives! Did you touch it? -Of course. You did too!

-Let's take it to the police. -[shouts] You are so naive!

I'm not leaving it here. You want to leave it with the Nazis?

-[Lenor] Shut up! We have to leave here! -[Alfa] Hey!

[whispers] Shut up.

We take everything you touched.

-[Lenor] We have to lift it up. -[Luisa] Careful.

[Alfa] Got it.

[Lenor] Let's get rid of it. Bury it somewhere, dispose of it.

-We have to take it to the police. -Sure. "Hello, officer.

We broke in and found some explosives."

The press needs to know.

-Without the trail leading to us. -Let's take it to the police anonymously.

Let's blow the whole place up.

[brakes screech]

-What the fuck are you talking about? -What?

It's not a game anymore! You don't really want this!

Fuck!

What now?

[grunting]

[Lenor] We can't tell anybody about this.

And the opening? The German Community Center?

Yes.

-Everyone should know about that. -[Alfa] Okay.

We'll tell them. But only a few, initially.

[lecturer] …is always required by law.

About initiative, article 76.

Collegial government decision.

Compare article 76, section 2, of the constitution.

It is practically the rule.

-Upper house, compare article 76… -What's up, Luisa?

[lecturer] …from within parliament, at least…

What's the point of laws nobody believes in?

Sorry?

[Batte] Are you on drugs or something?

Are you paranoid, somehow?

I know Alfa does coke and other crap.

No, I'm not!

And you know it.

[exhales]

Have I done something?

This place is a bubble, like…

Like…

Batte!

[frustrated sigh]

FOR THE LEGALIZATION OF P81.

VEGAN SOUP KITCHEN

[upbeat music playing]

-Can I do anything? -No, it's okay. All good.

[Ninja] Hey, check if they're done.

[indistinct shouts]

[ominous music playing]

[car door slams]

[car alarm sounds]

[police sirens blaring]

[tires screech]

[nervous breathing]

No one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the beep.

[sighs]

-[bird flutters] -[screams]

[Alfa] Okay, let's check it out.

[Alfa] This stupid fence!

-Do these come off? -[Alfa] It's locked.

[dogs barking]

Maybe the fence is good after all.

[Lenor] We'll need 300, 400 people for the fascists' opening party.

A huge protest.

The Greens, Social Democrats,

church groups.

Any hippie who's ever played bongos. We need them all.

Maybe we should go even bigger.

Mobilize people nationwide.

Let's come back with Batte next week and see if we can register a protest,

or as a rally. Email lists.

If 300 church goers in sandals show up, they'll just laugh at us.

-[Lenor] What? -They'll just laugh at us.

Let's do what we did at the parking lot.

You want to smash cars?

Yes.

-It's a bit more intense here. -[Alfa] It could work, in theory.

Thirty, 40 people.

We smash their cars.

Then we wait for people to come back and scare them, so they never come back.

That's bullshit.

People may get seriously hurt.

We've never done anything like it on this scale.

Alfa,

you don't want everything to change.

[Luisa] Why, Lenor?

Why wouldn't he want that?

Where's the nearest police station?

Are you stupid? The cops will be there.

Let's look at it, check where the closest police station is,

where we can park and how we get back.

We'll meet the day before to show you.

You don't think a protest or…

a rally would be more effective?

No!

-Luisa is right. They'd laugh at us. -Who's in?

From Frankfurt, six cars tops.

Those who were at the G20.

Long and his guys, from Nuremberg.

And from Berlin also about eight cars, tops.

-Good. And you? -Heidelberg three, give or take one.

That may be enough. We'll ask a few more cities.

And we'll let you know about our next meeting.

What if one of the Nazis gets hurt?

Lenor, you're always just in your crap bus.

You just sit there and watch. Fine with me.

But don't stop others from actually getting stuff done.

[Lenor] Fuck you.

There cannot be any serious injuries.

Use dummy ammunition only to get away.

We just want those attending the opening to get a fright,

so they will never go back there.

That's it.

I always thought it was great that we said people can change.

That's why no one should get seriously hurt.

-No permanent injuries. -[Alfa] Yes.

We've always said that.

[Lenor] That's what makes us different from them.

That's why I do this shit.

[engine stops]

Get out.

Piss off!

[kissing]

[breathing heavily]

[softly] If you are serious about this, then I am too.

[softly] Yes.

-[dog barking] -[indistinct shouting]

[woman arguing]

[Luisa] Hey.

[indistinct shouting]

Let's get out of here.

[dog barking]

[indistinct argument]

[Alfa] Let's go see Lenor.

[Batte] I want to see the search warrant.

[Batte yells]

[Batte] Let me go!

Don't touch me. I want to talk to my lawyer.

[officer] Get in!

Everybody out now.

Out!

[Luisa whispers] Fuck.

[whispers] He's not answering.

[indistinct police conversation]

[children shouting]

Hey.

[Alfa] What's with your phone? You need to pick up!

[Lenor] They went everywhere. H9, the bookshop, Oskar-Romeo-Haus.

I put everything in the van last night.

For safekeeping. They would have gotten me too.

-They have Peppa, Ninja, Leo, Batte. -I know, we saw it.

-But why us hippies? -Sweeping crackdown.

[distant police sirens]

They have nothing.

A few kicks in the ass and a couple of cream pies.

It was the explosives unit.

No one knows we found that stuff.

And the Nazis wouldn't have reported it as missing.

We must have taken it from informants. That's how they know.

Yeah, maybe.

Can we get out of here?

Hey!

-You really liked it here? -Yes, you could say that.

Well, come in then.

[Dietmar] Goodness me.

Small stuff.

Let us know if you have better ideas.

[Dietmar] Beating up Nazis is just scratching the surface.

Like painting a ramshackle house white over and over again.

And for that, you now have the cops after you.

What are you up to today?

[Dietmar] Early shift tomorrow.

My alarm is set for 4.30 a.m.

Politically, I mean.

I'm done with that.

That's why you're safe here.

So…

Tomorrow, breakfast from 7:00 to 10:30 a.m. in the red salon.

Good night.

-Shall I sleep downstairs too? -No.

Stay here.

[dial tone]

No answer.

He managed to reach someone.

[exhales]

[lawyer] The prosecution accuses the defendants

of aggravated assault and willful damage to property

committed nationwide against individuals the defendants consider to be right-wing.

That's you.

Currently, nine of you are being investigated.

Yes.

-Me being one of them. -Okay.

They really have no idea. They're totally in the dark.

The police uses section 129 to justify blanket surveillance.

Search warrants, monitoring, wiretapping,

DNA sampling.

It's a huge scandal.

But this the best thing that could happen because this means huge publicity.

-So, they don't have anything on us? -Exactly.

But they would like to find something.

And we have to face the music.

-Why you? -[Batte] Who else?

Until yesterday, P81 was a nonprofit likely to get a lease from the city.

Now we're a criminal organization. Thanks to you.

Do you realize that you've dragged Peppa, Ninja, me, and everyone into this?

[lawyer] We have to start a publicity campaign

that includes left-wing parties, the Greens and the young socialists.

-They have to give a reason-- -[lawyer] No. It's how section 129 works.

It's usually only used for serious criminal charges.

Terrorism, organized crime.

But suspicion alone is enough to shine the spotlight on you.

[Batte] Come to Mannheim for our campaign.

We have enough to pay Anni and to organize publicity events.

-What about me? -[Anni] What was your name?

You're not in there.

[cell rings]

-[Anni] Hello? Yes? -You can come home now.

Nobody is looking for you. You're not in danger or anything.

Your mom called me. Because she couldn't reach you.

I'll call her.

Staying for Alfa?

No, I'm staying… Yes, exactly.

Yep. Exactly, for Alfa. Yep.

Okay. You can clear your room then, so someone can move in there.

-Batte, I… -What, Luisa, what?

-Batte, I know, I'm… -[Anni] It's a killer.

Office Donebach agrees to take on the case.

It'll be a ball.

The prosecution stands on shaky ground. Yes?

-Hello, Bernd? -Thanks. Thanks for coming.

[Alfa] How will it help?

The campaign?

What's the matter with her?

[Lenor] The cops don't know we have explosives.

They don't know for sure. It would look different otherwise.

This is such a--

I don't want to front some shitty lefty campaign.

I'll never be able to make it after that.

Find another lawyer.

One that gets you out.

[door opens]

[door slams]

-Man, it's depressing around here. -[Dietmar] Huh?

Trouble?

-[Alfa] Hmm. -In a bad mood?

-We're being screwed with a 129. -[Dietmar] Ouch, that's no joke.

Yeah, thanks. I know.

Back then, you had to do something big for a 129.

Now you can't even beat up a few Nazis.

You blew stuff up?

We attacked Siemens.

Back then, it was about the big picture.

-Not small shit like this. -[Luisa] I get it.

In the end, we also only had a few simple answers.

For a complex world.

That's what appeals.

Do you ever eat anything other than canned ravioli?

Don't hold back. Feel free to cook.

How come you live here?

[Dietmar] You mean, here in hicksville?

Twenty years of living with roommates.

Shared cell in the slammer. I enjoy the peace.

Spent my dad's last years here with him.

Couldn't put him into a home.

I'm grateful for the time I had with him.

Anyway, if you want to stay,

-Hmm. -…it's nice here in summer.

I'll go check on Alfa.

[Alfa] But that's what it's about.

Please. Just hear me out.

You can't just… Please. Are you serious?

I will.

Thank you.

[Alfa] We'll meet with a lawyer next week.

My dad knows one who's had similar cases.

That means they've won.

That wasn't hard.

That's not what it means.

[Luisa] You're just walking away?

Stop, Luisa.

Please, just stop.

Stop pretending I'm some superhero.

I…

Lenor was right. That's not what I am.

Are you leaving now?

[Alfa] Yes.

[Alfa inhales] Just come with us.

This is out of our league.

We should've done things differently. As a group, like Batte wanted.

Not in such an ad hoc way.

Come on, let's go.

Why stay?

-Come. -Piss off, Lenor.

You were against this from the start.

-Just piss off, Alfa. -[Lenor] What's up with you?

What's up with you guys?

They want dead bodies.

[Lenor] And you?

What do you want?

What gives you the right to judge others?

Because you're safe?

Because your parents can always get you out?

[sobs]

[Lenor] That's not where I come from.

[breathing heavily]

You're not even on the list.

[sobs]

[Luisa] What about your old friends?

There weren't many left after I did time.

Most got on with their careers.

They are now professors at uni.

Journalists.

None of them were stupid.

-What about you? -[Dietmar] I was at med school.

I quit.

We were spearheading the movement.

We were absolutely convinced that we could build a new society.

[chuckles]

I was going to be

a minister.

-At the very least. Cheers. -Cheers.

[Dietmar] I was given five years.

Med school went down the drain, of course.

They were angry that I didn't rat on anyone.

I'm a nurse now.

[Luisa] Any regrets?

I'm not a rat.

No, I mean… Do you regret the whole thing?

-Would you do it again? -Do we really have a choice?

In the end, it's just a stage for those seeking the limelight.

I wanted to be one of the tough ones.

[laughs]

-Could I borrow your car tomorrow? -Sure.

I need it back by Monday, for work.

[grunts]

Lenor called last night.

He asked for you.

[indistinct conversation]

Go.

[Alfa] You were right all along.

We should have given it back straight away.

[Lenor] We won't be let off until they get it back.

Let's just hand it to the cops, anonymously.
