The clock is ticking, and on the slippery political stage, every maneuver seems possible. The self-proclaimed "democratic center" is tearing down firewalls, multi-billionaires are using chainsaws to dismantle government agencies, academia, and international aid, and then bask in the glory.

While reading classwork, a teacher is confronted with a racist remark that contradicts his humanistic convictions. He underlines it and finds himself facing not only the student's father but his entire class: they demand his suspension and accuse him of harboring anti-state sentiments. The teacher and his students, the youth being playfully prepared for the next war by the ruling regime, become increasingly estranged. But then, during summer camp, one of the students is murdered – and the search for the killer begins…

Youth Without God

"Which of you loves me most?" King Lear asks his three daughters, Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia, intending to divide his kingdom fairly among them after their sworn declarations of love. But he miscalculates: his beloved daughter, Cordelia, rejects the love contest and demands honesty instead. Lear—beside himself with rage—banishes her and divides his land between his other two daughters. The condition: he and his retinue must be fed and housed by one of them each month. But Goneril and Regan quickly tire of this demand, want to be rid of him, and seize the first opportunity to depose him. The once great king, reduced to bare human existence, descends further into madness, abandoned by everyone—except his court jester. Then news arrives from France that the exiled Cordelia has raised an army to rescue him and fight against her own sisters. An unprecedented spiral of violence is set in motion. At its end, everyone is dead. Almost.

In the 1990s, Kassel developed into Germany's third techno capital, alongside Frankfurt and Berlin. At its heart was a legendary club: Aufschwung Ost, later Stammheim. Here, a small group of techno enthusiasts created a nationwide pilgrimage site for the new subculture – with a distinctive design and even its own comic series. Internationally renowned artists like Dr. Motte and DJ Rush graced this iconic venue, celebrating its unique atmosphere across up to three floors and 5,000 square meters of dance floor. These were the carefree 90s: a spirit of optimism and a sense of transcendence during the long nights from Friday to Monday.
