A novel like a tracking shot with quick cuts and scene changes: Freelance journalist Christian barely keeps his head above water with his assignments. Christian’s everyday life moves between Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg in Berlin. Student Nele is part of an activist group that wants to draw attention to pervasive state surveillance with various actions. She is stubborn, angry and upends Christian’s life.
