The System
Mike is twenty, attractive, intelligent and a loner. He only shares his thoughts and an apartment in a prefabricated housing estate in Rostock with his best friend Dustin. There, on the roof with a view of the sea, they smoke their joints and sort stolen goods. Mike doesn't think beyond the next day. But everything changes when he is caught by Konrad Böhm during a break-in. The charismatic businessman introduces Mike to a parallel world of international lobbyists and former GDR secret service agents who have saved their networks for reunified Germany.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a tense psychological portrait at the intersection of social drama and political thriller. It explores the vulnerability of a young mind confronted by a system that offers knowledge as a form of power.
What lingers after viewing is a cold, methodical study of how the temptation to understand everything can replace moral agency. A reminder of the invisible structures that await the disaffected. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Marc Bauder
Best Watched
Watch alone late at night with a strong black coffee. The rain outside is a fitting companion.
