The System
2012, German. Directed by Marc Bauder.
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.
