Hello. One, two..

The freedom that is pretended to us

is an illusion.

Yess!

For decades, we have been dominated and

exploited by an increasingly rich power elite.

A free market economy no longer exists

in a world in which
overpowering power monopolies

can act as they wish without competition.

Conspiracy theorists wherever you look,
we probably live in the age of the nuts.

What, is there something else coming?

Only an asset ceiling can reverse this trend.

I can no longer hear these
pitiful envious people.

There must be a limit for private
and corporate assets.

A high limit of 10 billion euros.

That alone would redistribute 50 percent
of the world's wealth.

You're all about the billionaires.

And what about the less rich people,
have you thought about them?

The resulting diversity benefits us all,
including the poor.

Prices are again regulated by supply and demand
and not determined by cartels.

So you are a damn capitalist after all, I knew it.

But now it's enough!

You bitch, there will be a afterplay.

How are you, all right?

The man was bleeding.

Yes, you too.

You have put up with a little too much.

There is no poison, just the wrong dose.

He will calm down again and sleep it off.

Looked much worse than it really was.

Hello, are you looking for something
like this?

Yes, right.

Ah, you dropped it.

Get the hell out of here!

I just wanted to help.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Come on, let's get this bandaged.

Do you have something to disinfect?

Is this your husband?

But not that you now think
we could become friends.

I am much too unreliable for that.

I need my freedom.

For the 18-4 closing of the Haneberg brothers,

the booking data of the foundation
account are still missing.

Can you please tell me where exactly
I can find them?

The accounting data of the foundations
are always stored separately.

Depending on when they were made,

they are stored in the respective folders
on the e-drive under "Special accounts".

Oh, yeah, right. Thanks.

With their surplus, they feed their foundation
into a huge money bank.

And even if they officially act independently,
they will not bite the hand that feeds them

and be at their master's service.

To the public, it all looks clean.

And we in the tax department
can only think our part.

Although it is quite obvious what is going on.

Is everything in the legal area
and is approved by the politics.

This possibility was created by the government.

What are we, as the tax authorities,
supposed to do about it,

if it is officially allowed anyway?

I made a complaint to the department head
about disguised tax fraud.

You still do that?
You know she's being turned away.

They'll invoke the law, and rightly so.

But it is not right. It creates the problem.

That may be so, but we do not decide that.

We are officials who have to enforce the law
and nothing more.

Now I'll show you.

But you have to get through me first.

You are in an Antarctic ice cave
with summer clothes on

and your cell phone battery is empty.

There, better strengthen yourself again
before it ends.

It suits you, summer clothes,
even if it is much too cold.

You can't provoke me,
I have a much too thick fur for that

and that will warm me even on the polar cap.

You'll definitely get them to melt
with your outfit.

If you like I can give you private lessons.

You meet a mysterious man who makes you an...

The apartment was not exactly
in a good condition.

They just painted over the mildew stains.

But the area is one of the best in the city
and that is unfortunately reflected in the rent.

Well, good living is simply becoming
more and more expensive.

80 percent of people live in rented apartments
and not in condominiums.

I would have to be twice as old as my mother
if I had to pay off this apartment.

And then I would finally have my own apartment
before dying, at 140.

So it is more worthwhile
to invest in a beautiful grave.

The shroud has no pockets.

90 percent of residential property
is in the hands of companies with annual sales

of more than 100 billion euros.

These are mainly the large insurance companies,
banks and food companies,

which in turn have been swallowed up by the
conglomerates of even larger asset holdings.

As a home buyer for personal use,
you are only a 7-digit serial number.

Aha, a seven-digit serial number,
that sounds quite hopeless.

Yes, because there are so many.

Sure, I thought so.

It gives you the feeling that when you buy,
you are now also one of the owners,

but the actual profit is made by others.

I believe you. As hopeless as it may sound,
I've experienced it myself.

And I think about the things
that I do most of the time very carefully.

After all, you're sitting at the source
and you see the numbers, black on white,

moving across your desk every day.

Yes that may be, but everyone
has the opportunity to work on something,

there are enough examples.

That was perhaps still possible
40 or 50 years ago,

after a war that made everyone equal.

Maybe that is the reason why wars are happening.

Because it seems to be the only way
to restore equality by breaking everything.

The boss asked for you earlier
when you were not there.

Where were you?

I went to the bathroom.

Sure.

In any case you should contact him
when you are back.

Oh, he will be.

Yes?

Is here now.

Okay, I'll tell her.

You should go inside.

Now?

Yes,

right now.

Seems important.

Do you know what this is about?

He didn't tell me.

But he wasn't in such a good mood today.

Good luck my darling. He won't tear your head off.

Come in.

Please take a seat.

Did you recognize it?

I beg your pardon?

Mrs. Milberg, what were you thinking?

I don't know what you mean.

This is a charge of assault by an unknown woman.

Yes?

According to the injured party, this woman
is very likely to work in this house.

And this woman used this footstool
as a pedestal in a politically motivated action.

Does it look familiar to you?

This is covered by
freedom of expression and is my right.

So you admit to having been this woman?

This man attacked me.

This is outrageous!

We are the tax office here, a state authority.

We cannot afford political activists
and especially not violent ones.

He started it!

What were you actually thinking?

A civil servant who has been working
in an exemplary manner for years

suddenly starts writing masses
of dubious entries.

With which I may then occupy myself
quite incidentally.

Only all of them were rejected
because they were unfounded.

Because in all cases the accused practices
of the persons concerned

were clearly within the scope of the law.

It is just not fair!

It is not our responsibility to decide that.
On the contrary, we must not do it at all.

We are simply enforcing the law here.

Something must be done, and they know it!

You have the point. Something must be done,

namely that I hereby suspend you
until further notice.

And if the accusations are confirmed,
and it looks like they are,

you can almost certainly expect
to be dismissed without notice.

Hey, Eva, you all right?

Yes everything is fine.

Except that I just got discharged.

What, you got laid off?

Just say it, because of the story in the park?

What did they say,
how did they actually come up with you?

Well, it must not have been that difficult.

Such a sissy, ran like such a cowardly informer
to the police to snitch on you.

I was no longer acceptable for such an
important institution as the tax office.

And in a way they are right about that.

Don't talk nonsense.
They are just conformist assholes.

They don't need their own opinion.

Come on, let's go for a drink. My treat.

Later, right now I'm going home and lie down.

Are you sure?

Don't worry, I'll be fine.

This will be a completely new life for you,
starting today. You'll see.

Freedom!

The scratch marks on your face
are from the guy.

And he still dares to turn you in?
He's got a lot of nerve.

Well, I kicked him. When he was down.

You what?

But he got the bloody nose from the fall,
that was not me.

After all, he started it and came at you.

Yeah, that's what happened.

You will probably still be allowed to defend
yourself when someone attacks you.

And you only talked about
your reform proposals?

Yeah, you know all about that.

Of course, but you have only told us
this in private until now.

That you want to go public with it,
you have not mentioned until today.

But you have to do something at some point.
And not always just talk about it.

I'm with you on this, I also think it's right
to make important issues public.

Yes, but if the reaction is so violent,

then you should also consider
how to protect yourself from it.

Who could have counted on something like that.

I am sure that this was only an isolated case,

a particularly unfortunate coincidence
with a particularly unpleasant person.

But how can you approve of that,
she lost her job because of it.

If you lose your job because
of something like this,

then there is something wrong
with this society anyway.

That may be, but it is simply unreasonable
not to think of oneself as well.

I would do it again.

Even if you knew what the consequences would be?

Yes.

I had to do something. And if that means
losing my job, then so be it.

I don't think it is something special
that I have to say.

Actually it is only a logical conclusion.

I just don't want to have to
reproach myself later on

for doing nothing when it was still possible.

Who knows if it is even possible
to act against the mainstream.

According to unconfirmed reports

from the board of Syfex,
one of the largest food companies in Europe,

the long-planned and highly controversial
merger with Sandrin, the second largest

and only remaining competitor on the market,
will finally take place this year.

I don't believe it.

The antitrust authority,
which is currently examining the case,

has already expressed concern
in a first press release

that the merger will create
a kind of unique position in the market.

In return, however, it has also emphasized
Syfex' 10-point reform plan for ecologization

and rationalization of the food trade
as trend-setting and particularly innovative.

They will agree to that, it looks like.

What else is a monopoly
if not something like that?

They simply throw three hip terms
at the feet of the population

and the purchased cartel authority
says "yes" with thanks.

If they rationalize, as they say,
they may be able to offer at lower prices.

The opposite is the case, jobs will be reduced
and the profit margin increases

if prices are set arbitrarily without competition.

We just go over to the couch.

Come on, open your eyes,

look at me!

Well, are you back with us?

Yeah.

Breathe a few deep breaths first.

Water!

It's over.

Has it happened again?

Don't worry, nothing happened. We were there.

No, not again.

It's all good again.

Nothing is good.

We were also annoyed about what was in the news.

Just not as passionate as you.

That's right, not even close.

Please do not leave me alone.

Certainly not, we will stay with you.

What do you think, we are not leaving.

Do you promise me that?

Yes, indeed.

It is high time to do something about it.

Promise me you'll support me on this?

It is really important.

Yes..yes. I'm in.

But of course, we are friends.

You are right, it is really important.
For all of us.

The planned merger of the
two most powerful food companies

is one of the biggest mistakes
of the current economic development.

It is our democratic civic duty to point out
that this promotes monopolization, corruption

and mismanagement and subsequently leads to
a standstill in the development of our society.

The monopoly power must be limited
where it makes economic sense.

This certainly does not concern the small
and medium-sized businesses

and also not the wealthy among you,

but will only affect assets above
a two-digit billion range.

Only such a cap on power
can reverse this development.

This compellingly logical measure
will have positive effects

on small and medium-sized
customers in the future.

That is why this concerns us all.

There is no doubt that inequality has reached
a level that has replaced a free market economy

with a dictate of the powerful.

We ... called ... nobody without ... to take heart.

Test...one...two

We are called upon to oppose this..

Only with self-determined decisions..

Only with self-determined judgements can we
live together meaningfully in a democracy.

Our path so far has led us
in a completely wrong direction.

let us join forces

..so we join forces in the fight
against the big corporations.

It was really very... well,
I'd say it was a very special experience.

So tell me, how was it?

Well, the response of the audience has not taken
on the dimensions originally assumed.

And what does that mean?

Well Eva, don't you want to tell?

Well, it couldn't have been that bad?

So... your little punk girlfriend was also there

and the three of us made a pretty
illustrious picture for the passers-by.

Oh yes, and then there was the little problem
with your megaphone.

Stop!

Good. It was a bust.
But the direction was right in approach.

But definitely.

Next time I will be there too.
I can distribute some snacks.

Exactly, that's what we needed.
Food as bait.

Well, I mean that quite seriously.
You know, first come the odeuvres and then the moral.

That's right, how could we forget that.

I know I'm a bit clumsy in social matters.

Oh iwo, what makes you think
I would never have noticed.

Oh iwo, what makes you think
I would never have noticed.

That's sweet of you, but I know it is so.

You may be different from others
in some things.

But that is exactly
what makes you so special.

And to make sure that something
in your private life changes,

we have made something for you.

Oh, yeah, what?

You know how exhausting
your political commitment is.

And with so much selflessness
you should also think about yourself

and take care of your physical well-being.

Since it has been a while
since you were with a man,

we thought about what you could do.

You know that this is a sore point.

Yes, we know that and we respect that.

But maybe you just need a little push so that
there can be a possible new beginning sometime.

It is all completely non-binding.
You still have the free choice.

What have you done?

We have put a partner search profile
for you on the net.

What have you done?

It is completely anonymous,
no one will recognize you.

Without asking me.

Well, you never would have allowed it.

Exactly!

For once, you are right,
I would never have allowed that.

And this is exactly
why we decided not to tell you.

Is it already so bad about me?

Even worse.

It was worth the try,
even if you will be angry.

We also assumed that you would be.

I can't believe you guys do this to me?

You don't have to do much,
we have already found an attractive man for you.

I don't believe it!

He seems to be a nice man.

Promise me that you will look at him.

It is a completely non-binding meeting.
You know, you have all the freedom to decide.

It's not an arranged marriage or anything,
it's just a date.

We both felt that you just need a push
to change things.

And that is the least we could do for you.

Here 7-4-3.

Suspicious female person
in the west entrance area

tries to unroll and attach a kind of banner.

I will check it out alone for now,
but please stand by.

Gotten 7-4-3, waiting for further information.

What are they doing?

This is not allowed,
or do you have a permit for it.

Let me, this is an important message.

You are liable to prosecution
for trespassing and damage to property.

I'm not damaging anything,
it's just tape.

And for a house this ugly block
is a bit too big.

By the way, my protest is absolutely peaceful.

I guess you'll have to call for backup.

What kind of toy do you have there?

7-4-3 coming.
Everything okay in the west wing?

Well, don't you want to answer?

Let me go you fucking coward!

Shut up!

Never show your face here again,
otherwise you won't get off so lightly!

You fuck!

I recognized you right away. The mark.

I'm sorry,
but I didn't got around to getting one.

Nice to meet you, I am Victor.

Yeah, sure, me too.

When I saw her coming towards me,
I knew immediately that it could only be her.

Oh, yeah?

Yes, you are...
somehow different from the others.

Oh, a compliment to start with, did you
get that from the flirt tips on the website?

This is not a compliment for everyone.

Many try to be as unobtrusive as possible,
for example to fit in with a certain group.

But to be special,
that's what everyone wants, isn't it?

Whether someone is special should be left
to the eye and judgment of others.

But I'm not worried for tonight.

Shall we go for a walk?

Thank you.

So you didn't want to meet me at all

and you only doing this
for the sake of your girlfriends?

So it is.

But then your friends know you very well.

What makes you think so?

Well I think of the correspondence
in your name. It was very pleasant.

How do you know if I am pleasant?

Of course I don't know.

But for the short time I already know you.

And this first impression is perhaps
comparable to the way

one approaches one another in writing
without knowing each other.

This may be that there may be a common, public
component to this, despite the private motive.

But probably the more
important factor is wanting.

One can tell that you are a tax official.

I used to be. Now I work in a company
that I audited before.

What I mean by this is that

you have a very clear but also distanced
way of expressing yourselve.

I'm sorry if I'm too harsh. But I haven't been
out with anyone for a long time.

I can well understand that.

After a long period of mourning
I decided to want something from life again.

Yes, relationships between people are not easy.

When it finally works out with a person,
and that doesn't happen very often,

then fate plays a trick on you.

Victor, maybe you don't want to see me anymore,

but I would like to see you again.

Very gladly Eva.

And you met just like that
without having seen each other before?

How else can you see one?

Well via video telephony.
Ever heard of Skype?

My friends had arranged it
without me knowing about it.

Of course, I did not know that you
can get pregnant from it.

It really was, believe me.

Such bitches, ey.

But they seem to like you.

Yes they probably do.

Besides that, I don't think you can see
the real face through a video.

How true.

But these are the times we live in today.

If you can't deal with your alter ego,
the damned screen presence,

then you simply don't exist
in our brave new world.

Then I am not there.
There's nothing I can do about it either.

Have you ever thought about recording your
ideas on video and putting them on the web?

There would probably be more people
watching you than over at the park.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

There are already enough weirdos who
make themselves ridiculous in the net.

But it would be worth a try, you never know.
Maybe you have what it takes to go viral.

You'd be nerdy enough.

Yes, or to provoke a Schitstorm.
I don't think I could take that.

Well, if you can fend off coke artists,
then you can do it with a few uptight haters.

Come on, let's make a video.

What now?

Yes of course, when else.

The energy is now where the idea was born.
We should take advantage of that.

I do not know. I don't think I can do this.

Let's think about
where the best light for this is.

Come on, it will be fun.

Don't piss your pants, come on!

So, once to the window.

Little bit to the side.

And robot.

Doctor Eva Milberg, could you please tell us
something about your thoughts on the

future development of our economic system?

Nonsense with Doctor, turn off the camera!

Don't be like that, you know it.
Why don't you just tell people what you think.

Good evening Eva,
I hope you had a pleasant day?

Victor, what a nice surprise.

Yes, it was exhausting, but also nice.

I have the feeling my work is needed
and I can see the progress.

That sounds good.
Yeah, that sounds good.

I was thinking, of course only if you
have time and are not too tired,

whether we both want
to do something together today.

Very much so, what did you have in mind?

We could take a look at the artists
and street musicians on the quay.

Today is a long night of jugglers.

And in case we get hungry,
I know a small, cosy restaurant there.

That sounds very tempting, gladly.

Let's go.

What right now?

But when else, the evening has already begun?

Thank you.

With pleasure.

It comes from the heart.

I believe you.

And please be careful with it.

Come here, I'll show you something.

Where are you going with me?

Where are you going with me?

Just let yourself be surprised.

You will like it.

So, did I promise you too much?

Yes, that is really wonderful.

If each of these points could feel
only approximately what I am feeling right now,

the world would be a better place.

What's the matter?

You, so early?

Yes, me. May I come in?

But of course.

You won't believe what happened.

What is it, tell me!

One moment.

You can remember our video
that I recorded of you.

Yes.

I put it on the net for you.
We talked about it.

Yes. And?

Well look!

What is there?
I only see myself in your video.

Don't you have eyes in your head, here?

Yes?

482.000 clicks, Eva!

I see. And what does that mean?

Your video was seen by almost 500.000 people!

That is many.

Yes, very many.
This is overwhelming!

You are a star now.
A Youtube star.

I see.

I just uploaded the thing
and didn't pay attention to it.

And when I checked this morning,
I couldn't believe it, but it's true.

You cannot imagine
how many messages you have received.

Messages?

Yes, people want to
talk to you about your ideas.

Not all of them are positive
but most are enthusiastic.

Well, I don't understand that anymore.
You posted our video in my name.

Yeah, I told you so.

Ah, yes, I remember. But then I could not
have guessed what would become of it.

Yeah, me neither. I like your opinions,

but I never thought
that something like this would happen.

I mean, you don't know how many weirdoes there
are on the net posting all kinds of stuff.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking.

That there is
simply too much information on the net.

And therefore it is probably
hopeless to publish something there.

Yes, but sometimes something like this happens.

You've gone viral.

So what now?

I don't know, no idea.

I mean, you could start by answering people,
maybe we'll come up with something.

Okay.

But there are thousands of them!

What I have seen so quickly,
some forums have already formed,

in which your video is hotly discussed.

That's just...

This is fantastic.

It's your big chance
to reach a large public.

You have actually already reached them.
Now you just have to learn how to handle it.

Although the riots that have flared up again
in the city's socially deprived areas have been

pushed back into the suburbs by the police,
the situation still seems confusing.

The Minister of the Interior has asked the
Ministry of Defense for urgent assistance,

and in doing so has requested the deployment of
federal special units to secure state checkpoints.

Eva Milberg's stellar rise to power and her call
for the introduction of a general asset ceiling

gives the poor and the middle class renewed hope
for an improvement in their situation.

The former tax official and Internet activist
known for her political commitment

has become a star of the social media
virtually overnight with a YouTube video.

If this limit, which should apply to every
natural person but also to every legal entity,

were set at 10 billion, 50 percent of the
total world wealth would be redistributed.

And yet only one percent of the people
would be affected by this tax levy.

These figures alone show the enormity
of the inequality in our society.

This inequality has become so huge
that it massively damages our economy

and the really powerful one percent of people
have all prices and information in their hands

and can manipulate and shape it
according to their will.

That is why it is so important to recognize
the sense of this asset ceiling

and the possibility
to implement it democratically.

It is only a simple tax law and
the offices to implement it already exist.

The one percent has to pay its taxes finitely,
so that we can get 50 percent of our earth back.

And the people who finally
pay their taxes will not become poor,

they will remain billionaires.

Well, I think Eva Milberg
is simply fantastic, she opened my eyes.

I thought to myself,
what do I care when billions are involved,

but now I know that we
will all benefit from it.

She is an absolute nerd, but I believe her.

After all, she worked
for decades in the Ministry of Finance.

How did you come across
the video of Mrs. Milberg?

It is just the total hype on the net,
it is shared and liked everywhere,

you can hardly miss that
when you are online today.

In the past 24 hours alone,

Eva Milberg has received more than
half a million clicks for her video "The Limit".

Doctor Milberg announced in a second video
that she wants to confront

the corporations concerned
and the current government

with the demands and thus initiate
a political debate on the issue.

Would you be so kind as
to ask Dario to come to me.

Thank you.

You called for me?

Dario, nice that you
found time so quickly.

That goes without saying,
I am there for you.

We have a little problem.

It's this activist from the net.

She managed to cause
this hype despite our infobots.

I have already sent you
the personal data.

I have heard about it
and read your message.

Damned Internet.

The times when we only had to consider
the TV stations are probably finally over.

It is already well advanced.

Yes, it is.

What can I do?

We must change the image
of this personality as quickly as possible.

The way she is standing now,
she is a pop star.

We could proceed with
a similar strategy as with Callisto.

Something like that.

Only with the difference that this is a woman.

There it requires another personal blemish.

Drugs?

Would be conceivable.

But it must not take too long,
we do not have much time.

It must work the first time,
because this time there is no second chance.

Until we have launched the revelation facts,

the exitus must be completed.

Can I determine the procedure myself
or do I still get instructions from 3-11?

You have a free hand.

I appreciate their tactical skills
and trust you to find the right way.

You can rely on me.

I am being followed,
someone is after me!

Who are you, what do you want from me?

Where are you?

Come on out!

We'll find you anyway.

Where have you been so long,
we've been waiting?

Come on in,

what happened?

I don't know who he was,
but he looked scary.

And he just followed you around?

Have you ever seen him before?

No, certainly not.
He was completely unknown to me.

Well, maybe he just wanted
to have a little chat with you.

This is certainly no way to start
a conversation. He was trying to scare me.

Maybe you lack the experience
of what men are like.

Should we not report this to the police?

I do not know.
For them certainly too little has happened.

You're right, they have
completely different problems.

But if I hadn't been hiding,
something would have happened.

You weren't there. If you'd
seen him, you'd think so too.

All right, calm down.
You're safe now.

This has never happened to me before.
Who's going to take care of me?

Now that you have become a media star,
you will probably have to rethink.

What about you?

You don't know what
something like that is like.

Everybody thinks that
everything is fine with me anyway.

And that's why we spend the whole time
dealing with Eva and her escapades.

Why don't you tell me what's going on?

I'm really sorry if my problems
take up too much space and you come up short.

Although I have
no problems with men otherwise,

but at the moment things
are not going well, not at all.

But why don't you try the internet,
that worked out very well for me.

No, that's not for me.

I need the outdoors, the real city life that
takes place in public places and in the bars.

Yes but if it doesn't work?

What exactly is your problem?

Oh, it's the men.

They simply have no guts these days.
They're all so intimidated.

What do you wish for one?

He can be a bit stronger
and should go the whole hog.

You mean like Eva's admirer of today?

If he is the right one.

He was definitely not
the right one, not even for you!

How do you know that? I'm not that good.

I know you probably hate this,
but I wouldn't mind if he had money.

So I don't mind, I was married
to a breadless artist before.

Yes, but I mean the charisma.
It has to be right.

Oh, man. I just hope you don't let
a big mouth and a big car blind you.

This obscures the view
on the actual account balance.

No offense, but I am not a
Buddhist monk who is satisfied with little.

I also like it big and strong.

Excuse me,

Doctor Milberg?

Ah, yes.

I recognized you right away.

Do we know each other?

Well from the television.
That's where I saw you.

Oh, yeah, fine.

And what can I do for you?

If you allow

I would like to talk to you
about your impressive career.

But it is not that impressive.

You are very popular in your video.

Thanks, it was my only
appearance in the media so far.

Oh, don't be so modest,
more will follow.

We will see.

The question is only whether
you can live well from it.

Of my political commitment?
Certainly not.

That is not my intention at all.

But after the loss of your job at the tax office,

you must surely have
to accept financial losses.

I have a new job, I can't complain.

With one third of what they earned before?

I do not need much.

But how do you know that?

Who are you?

It need not frighten you
that I speak to you.

I am just an interested observer,
who thinks about people and their needs.

And what do you think my needs are?

When I look at you, I think you have similar
needs as other people do and want the same.

You have the point. I do not want
to put my needs above others.

So the average of the others.

The average of the others.
Well, if that's the standard.

I don't want to leave you
in the dark about me.

I work for a large corporation that has made
it its business to create products for people

that make the lives of
the average person easier,

or even better, enriched.

That sounds good at first, but unfortunately
also like an advertising slogan.

Listen, whatever you are trying to sell me,
I am not interested.

I do not want to sell you anything.
On the contrary, I want to make you an offer.

Oh, yes, which one?

500 million in cash,
or transferred to your account.

What?

Yes, you heard right.

And you can be assured
that the offer is absolutely serious.

And what do you want in return?

This would indeed
change your live completely.

You are entering a new class,

one that the average person
would never have dared to dream of.

A kind of people who, through their power,

have a different understanding
of values than the average, and live it.

I am convinced you have
no idea what this really means.

Let me help you.

It is a life in complete freedom,

without this unbearable burden,
which they used to call existential fear.

You can fulfill every wish,

really every wish.

It is a life
like paradise.

If every wish
fulfillment could be bought.

But that's just
not the way it is.

Everything that has a value
also has its price.

Believe me, there is.

We created the world this way.
God created it this way.

You declare in oath that you renounce
your political commitment to an asset ceiling

per person and get the 500 million
transferred to their account the same day.

And the best thing about it is that this amount
is still far below their required upper limit.

So with your terms,
absolutely just.

The upper limit aims
at breaking up monopolies of power.

It creates an economic diversity that a healthy
market economy needs in order to function.

Once you are in possession of such a volume,
you will think differently.

This changes your
perspective completely.

You don't have that much, do you?

And only dream of it.

Yes. And worse.

Like with a carrot in front of your nose
you let yourselve be manipulated with it.

My answer is no.

You can tell your boss that.

Unfortunately this is the wrong answer.

So I have to tell you that if you do not
change your attitude,

it could have a negative
effect on your health.

Are you threatening me?

This is a well-meant advice.

Laura.

Have you been out?

Come on in.

Thank you.

You will surely ask yourself
what I want with you at this time of the day.

Just when something like that
of mine happens rather rarely.

No, I'm glad you came by.

That's good,
because I wanted to talk to you.

Yes?

About your work.

Oh there is everything in order.
I don't get rich, but the people are okay.

No, I don't mean that.

It's about your political work.

You know that I do not always
agree with you one hundred percent.

You don't have to, I prefer
an open debate to speechless ignorance.

It's just that your opinion could suddenly
have a direct impact on my development.

I don't quite understand.

Well, you're my friend, right?

Ah, yes.

Right.

All the more unfortunate that your work,
at present, directly influences my possibilities.

My political work.

Yes.

But in how far does it do that?

Well, if you let your commitment
to the upper limit stay,

it would change my situation abruptly.
And that for the better.

Today I received an interesting offer that is
directly related to your political activities.

Aha, I got a similar offer.

Eva, I beg you, don't you
want to think it over again?

I mean... what we could do then, together.

Eva, don't do that.

That is so selfish of you.

No, it is not!

Unfortunately you force me to.

Sorry, I have to go now.

You are right about one thing,
there are limits everywhere.

Also of what is sufferable
for a human being.

Come on pick up, where are you?

Excuse me, aren't you Agnes,
a friend of Eva Milberg?

Yes, I know Eva. And who are you?

I am Victor, her boyfriend.

I think I know that Eva has
already told you a lot about me.

Ah, you're Victor.

Eva has actually told me quite
a bit about you. Nice to meet you.

You know, I'm looking for her right now,
trying to reach her by phone, but in vain.

I'm kind of worried, we had an appointment
for tonight and I'm a little late.

She hasn't responded to my messages though.
That is not her usual way.

Maybe something has happened.

Right, that doesn't sound like Eva at all.
Or did you have a fight with each other?

No, definitely not. On the contrary,
it has just developed particularly well.

Yeah, she told me that too.

Do you want to try it with your phone.
Maybe mine is not working properly.

Okay.

She does not pick up.

Maybe something really happened.
Is she at her apartment?

I don't think so, at least I rang
the bell there earlier and she didn't open.

But maybe she just didn't hear them.

Yes but why not?

Maybe she's sleeping.

We had an appointment.

Or she is...

Fainted?

It really could be that
something has happened

I'll check this right away.

I'm going with you.

Hopefully nothing has happened to her.

Here it is faster.

All right?

Be right there.

Hello.

Who's there?

It's just unbelievable

that Laura did something like this.

I still can't believe it.

I have asked for time to think about it.

I could not suspect that they were criminals.

But I knew immediately that it was wrong.

Hello.

Hello Eva, my God where are you?
I've been trying to reach you for hours.

Hello Victor, nice to hear your voice.

I was so worried, what happened?

I can't talk about it now.

This sounds worrying. Are you okay?

Yes, I am fine again, Marion takes care of me.

Can I come up? I'd like to see you.

I would also like to see you, but I think
it is better if I rest here a little bit.

I could accompany you home
and take care of you too.

That's sweet of you, but it's a women thing,
you know, we need this from time to time.

I understand that, but I almost died of fear.

Don't worry, I just need
to get a good night's sleep.

Then I'll be there for you again.

Then make sure you get some rest,
a good sleep is the best medicine.

I will do.

Do you still remember our first evening.

Yes, of course.

We met where all tourists meet, remember?

Yes... yes, I can remember.

You know, I am just a tourist
one who is passing through.

I think I know what you mean.

I still see you before me
as if it was yesterday.

How you stood there, under the lantern,
with your white lily.

Yeah, like it was yesterday.

And yet we have spent so much time together
and accompanied each other a little on our way.

Yes, we did. We walked side by side
and were there for each other.

But it will go on, on and on
until we have arrived.

For so many years I have been travelling around
and I long for the destination,

I wish to enter the harbour,
where there is no more fear.

I would like to see you there again,
where we first met.

Let's do that.

You promise me?

I promise.

Then I will stop now and let you rest.

Yes, I think I need it now.

Sleep well and have sweet dreams.

I will do.

Good night.

Good night.

Doctor Lombard, the appointment
with the chancellor. She has just arrived.

Yes thanks. Let her come in.

As you wish.

Madam Chancellor, what a joy to receive you.

The pleasure is all mine.

I hope the private setting and our
modest premises will suit your agenda.

Thank you, our meeting
comes at just the right time.

I am impressed. And modesty
is probably more a matter of opinion.

I would like to get straight to the point.
The Syfex cooperation, has asked for this meeting

because we are hoping for support
from you for our planned merger.

As you know, the transaction is currently
being reviewed by the antitrust authorities

and will hopefully be approved
soon and without further delay.

Dr. Lombard, I am of course aware of your
interests regarding a merger with Sandrin,

which, by the way, is the second largest
food company after Syfex in the Eurasian market.

That such a project would be
examined by the antitrust authorities

is probably more than obvious to any outsider.

And that is exactly the
reason why we turned to you.

At present, to the extent that we have received
this information from reliable sources,

it is not necessarily certain that this merger,
as we have planned it,

will be approved by the antitrust authorities.

Which, by the way,
is subject to their jurisdiction.

Unfortunately I have to disappoint you.

The antitrust authority,
which is supposed to prevent

the formation of monopolies
on international markets,

is an independent authority
of the highest importance,

which ensures the continued
existence of competition,

which, as you certainly know,
is one of the most fundamental

correctives of self-regulating
price development.

What belongs together will come together,
you know that very well.

All attempts by antitrust authorities
on the different continents of our planet

have never been able to prevent this absolutely
logical and completely natural process.

This authority only serves,
a meanwhile toothless policy,

which does not want to lose
its influence completely.

In order to set a media-effective scene
for the politics of occasion,

and to set an example here and there.

Maybe it has become
like that in the meantime.

But the necessity of such an authority
is then all the more obvious.

It is the only remaining instrument against
market-damaging superiority

and an unrivalled pricing policy.

You have learned this well by heart.

Do you have any idea how many people
out there are using Syfex products?

There is no one left who has not come
into contact with us in some way.

Not even you. Your shoes,
the hairspray in your frissure,

even the butter on your
breakfast bread is from us.

We are the largest consumer goods retailer
in the world and we continue to expand.

No one will be able
to stop us from doing so.

I and my colleague would
like to make you an offer

to settle our small
difference of opinion.

And I think it is a fair one.

We have been supporting your party
with financial aid for years now.

This commitment could soon
reach a temporary peak.

With a generous donation, for example,
in the amount of 3 billion euros.

That is indeed very generous.

One third of this sum is
at your personal disposal,

it will not appear in the books
and nobody will miss it.

Our party will certainly need this money.

Definitely. For example, to be able to
finance their future election campaign.

I am extremely conscious of and
deeply grateful for your donations,

including for my past and
highly successful election campaign.

But I am, as you know,
a public person

and my actions are closely monitored
by critics and the press.

And I cannot approve of this merger,
especially not as a leading economic party.

I advise them to accept our offer. Believe me,
it is better for you and your health.

Chancellor,

how nice to finally
meet you in person.

Like almost all media figures, you look
much smaller and narrower than on the screens.

I am convinced you are
making the right decision.

Imagine, in the suburbs
riots have started again.

This time the police took a hard crack at
the demonstrations and knocked them down.

Something like that used to upset you.

I know you're trying to shake me up.

But don't worry, I'm awake, I just need
a little time to regain my strength.

You saw through me, I wanted
to appeal to your fighter heart.

Maybe it will help you to overcome your
own pain. I think you need to see this.

Completely surprisingly the largest merger
of two companies in recent economic history

was approved by the current Federal
Government before the decision period expired.

Despite the greatest concerns of leading
representatives of the economy,

the merger of the two largest remaining food
groups and previous competitors on the market

was today approved in full on the
direct instructions of the Chancellor.

The merger is flanked by a series
of socio-economic measures, making job security

and the guaranteed continuation of social
peace the top priority for the decision.

Even before that, the riots in the poor quarters
of the metropolitan areas had been cited

as the main argument for similar
mergers and the associated easing

of the general level of competition.

Warning voices from the ranks
of the economic sciences,

which see a move away from
a lively market economy

toward a monoploistic planned economy, were
rejected by the responsible Ministry of Finance.

I know this is insane,
but we can't do anything about it right now.

This will concern all of us,
so why doesn't anyone notice?

Now it is important that you calm down.
Then we can think about what to do.

I am calm. I'm calm.

Yes that is good, it is better for you.

It is a corrupt regime, quite simply a corrupt
regime, and everyone thinks we are free.

Your phone.

Is not a stored number.

Hello?

Hello Mrs. Milberg?

This is Nora Villion, you may know me.
I work in the newsroom on LBN.

Yes this is Eva Milberg speaking.
And I just saw you on the news.

Yes, exactly, the recording.
And that is also the reason why I call you.

I was quite shocked by what you
reported about the merger.

I thought so.

I know your political activities
and have reported on your internet appearance.

It is unbelievable what is going on right now
under the eyes of the public, and that,

as it looks, without much resistance.

It is the small steps and time that
make it invisible to the population.

I would like to face up to my responsibility
as a media representative

and make you and her thoughts known
to a larger part of the population

in a large television interview.

Would you be willing to do this?

An interview, for television?

Yes, exactly.

The fact is that Syfex is now also interested
in the television station I work for

and wants to gain
even more power over the reports.

And I absolutely must prevent that.
Please let us do this interview.

I am happy to give you this interview.
I hope we can achieve something together.

Very good. I'm sure we can.

When do we want to meet?

You okay?

Yes.

I thank you for being here.

5 seconds to air.

I hope everything goes well.

It will, for sure.

And Go!

For the big live interview, we have,
today for current reasons,

the activist and former tax
office employee Dr. Eva Milberg,

known through her
Internet presence, as our guest.

Welcome.

The two largest food companies
in Europe become one

and thus the sole market leader
of almost all products we consume as food.

Why do you have something against this,
what is it that upsets them so much?

That is more than obvious.

We live in a free market economy,
whether we like it or not,

in which prices are
determined by supply and demand.

And if there is only one offerer
without competition,

then that determines the prices
alone and after its discretion.

Does this mean that food prices
will rise as a result?

This is very likely, at least there is

no longer a regulatory system that
has existed before through competition.

A state is reached that resembles the planned
economy in former communist systems.

In many areas of the economy this state, which
was created by monopolisation, already exists.

This sounds like a significant problem.
How can we counteract this?

Limit the size of power monopolies.

At first this sounds like an anti-economic
measure, but the opposite is true.

If power, i.e. assets,
were limited, competition

would arise again and
productivity would increase.

In return, prices fall
or settle at a realistic level.

Why has this law not been applied
once before in the entire history of mankind?

Such considerations have
been around for a long time.

Aristotle suggested the
limitation of wealth early on.

Marx also pointed out the danger
of monopolization

and especially in the current debate
it is proposed by many economists.

So why is the border so little known?

After the Milgram Experiment, 2/3 of the people
are willing to kill on the order of a superior.

They are, so to speak, in bondage to power
and do not trust their own opinion.

The party of those in power thus
has a constitutional majority.

This is why it is so important
to control public opinion through the media.

The Syfex Group, by the way, plans to
take over this channel in the coming quarter,

in order to most likely
broadcast other news than this one.

Until now, wars have taken over
the task of restoring balance

after periods of great inequality.

The limitation of assets per person,
including those of partnerships

such as large corporations,
would be a simple and effective tax law

that could be easily implemented
with our existing institutions.

And all this without human sacrifice.

You want to stand for election?

Yes, I would like to stand as a candidate
for the upcoming European elections

No physical or legal person
may own more than

ten million times the minimum
monthly need of a human being.

That would be 10 billion
euros in our latitudes.

That is a limit that will not make
anyone who is wealthy today poor.

And it is a reasonable size for
companies to make all necessary investments.

Thank you very much for this interview and
I wish you all the best for the upcoming election.

Dearest Eva, I am so happy
that we meet at the place

where we have seen each other
for the first time, I can hardly wait.

By the way, I watched your performance on TV,
you were great, so combative.

I'm sure you are a great role model
for many of the hopeless people.

I am so proud of you. If only I could tell
you how happy I am to see you again.

Sorry but I was delayed.

Please, it was not even 10 minutes,
and besides, it is my pleasure to wait for you.

Finally you are here.

I could not even remember
what it was like to be taken in your arms.

How could you let us wait so long for this?

Oh, be quiet and kiss me!

You are the one who inspires my thinking
and nourishes my confidence.

You are the key in my life.

Never before has my destiny been so closely
connected with a person as with you.

Before I met you, my life was empty
and my joys were stale.

But then I met you, in the crowd of the city,
which is made similar by loneliness.

There you stood, in the midst of all the people,
not different, not conspicuous, there with me.

I look at you, now, and my doubts disappear.

I feel your essence flowing
into me and fulfilling me.

Your blase presence extends
the moment of the now,

which separates the future from the past,
over the day, over the year,

over the entire time of our being together.

Your face, becomes one
with the space we are in,

one with the city and its people,
one with the world that surrounds me.

Your eyes, they look at me, they draw me
like a stream in your direction

and lead me where I have not been yet.

Your body is part of me
and my body is part of you.

We both become one, and life begins.

Some things happen as
if they had been fixed for a long time.

How do you feel?

As if a warm stream flows through my body.
Because you hold me in your arms.

Yes, I hold you.

I suddenly feel so cold.
Hold me tighter.

Do not be afraid,
I am with you.

I am not afraid
when you are with me.

Just let it happen.

People are like that,
they need the sacrifice to believe.

This cannot be, this can

Eva, you can't be dead!

This cannot be.

It is as if I can still hear her voice.

Did she live here alone?

Yes.

Eva has long suffered
from a broken relationship.

She could not get over the fact
that her fiance at that time

had left her shortly before the wedding.

Why couldn't anyone else find them?

Perhaps she has become too suspicious,
through the painful experience.

We have at least tried again and again
to spur them on to try once more.

But she did not want to...
Couldn't do it anymore at some point.

Time alone changed her.

She seemed to me to be
a life-loving woman.

And she was, especially
when she met someone else again.

She literally blossomed.

You loved her.

Do you want something to drink?

Thank you.

I took care of Eva as good as I could.

We were probably her only friends.

That was enough not to take her seriously.

It was only when she caused
a big stir with her ideas

that we realized
what she might have been.

We actually never
really got to know her.

Perhaps you are now reproaching yourself that
you could not take better care of her.

I felt similar with this.

But that is not right.
Eva knew exactly what she was doing.

She was like a child in certain things.
When it came to love, she needed our help.

And you have helped her.

Yes, we turned her over to her killer.

They were hardened killers.
They would have tracked Eva down anyway.

There was nothing anyone could do about it.

If only I could believe that.

She knew that she would die that night.
And this by the hand of her lover.

She knew that she would die that night.
And this by the hand of her lover.

You do not know yet?

Eva informed me shortly before her death and
told me the locations of the hidden cameras.

Which cameras?

Eva recorded her murder.

With cameras that she had
previously placed around the crime scene.

What?

Yes, she acted in full consciousness.
She wanted me to release the recordings.

This is incredible. She really did that?

Yes, yes she did.

She told me.

I knew it,

But, I was too late.

You could not have changed it, otherwise
Eva would have given you the possibility.

You were supposed to find
the recordings and save them.

And you did.

Yes, I did.

Then we will fulfill
the wish of Eva.

Maybe we do not understand
everything even now.

Maybe she knew the people
better than we admit to ourselves.

I, for my part,

will cherish the legacy
of Dr. Eva Milberg

and carry it into the world

as far as it is in my power.

And I will help

as much as I can.

The political activist Eva Milberg is dead.

She was murdered last night in
the center of the city by a contract killer.

She died by the injection of poison by a man
whose identity could be established beyond doubt

after the first evaluation of
a secretly recorded video of the crime.

In all probability, the man was acting
on behalf of an influential corporation

that wanted to prevent Milberg's
sudden popularity

and the associated possible change
in tax law by murdering her.

These pictures were taken with the help
of surveillance cameras mounted in the center.

The identity of the
perpetrator was established

with a probability bordering on certainty
as that of Victor Menard.

He is a long-time employee in
the security department of Syfex,

the group that has already made
headlines with the largest merger

ever planned in the food sector.

The extent to which Group Board member
Phillip Lombard is involved

in the murder of Eva Milberg
is currently being investigated.

The suspicion seems to be well-founded,

since he himself founded
the security department 7 years ago

and the suspected perpetrator
is still under his personal supervision.

The video has already been handed over to the
responsible public prosecutor's office,

which in turn has started investigations.

As there is an acute danger of flight
due to the overwhelming evidence,

three people were already taken into
custody before this article was published,

including the suspected perpetrator
Victor Menard and the CEO Phillip Lombard.

Eva Milberg, who wanted to run for
the upcoming European Parliament elections

in order to introduce
a maximum wealth limit per person,

was considered for an entire generation
to be a beacon of hope for a political change

towards balance and justice.

But that was apparently enough to get
into the firing line of the rich and powerful,

who perceived Milberg's ideas not
as a chance but exclusively as a threat.

a little bit closer to the window

It is now being examined by the election
commission to what extent Eva Milberg,

despite her death, can put her
tax idea to the coming election.

Because the activist,
who became known with an Internet video,

will probably remain alive forever in the
hearts of the countless poor and forgotten.

Now.

No physical or legal person
may own more than 10 million times

the minimum monthly need of a human being.

Do you think people understand that?

Yes, but sure, sooner or later they will.

Although for many, limiting company assets,
and this is the main purpose of the limit,

may sound contradictory to growth,
this simple tax law, through revived competition,

would fuel our economy to a degree
we could not have imagined before.

Yes, according to the
principles of the market economy.

I do not understand
why nobody wants to understand this.

Me neither. But that was
understandable in any case.

Hold on.

Does this thing work at all?

What, are you crazy? I'm working my
ass off here and you're not even recording?

Shit, look, the lens is fully tarnished.

The main actress urgently
needs to be put in make-up again.

I'll smack you.

It is a peaceful revolution
that democratically creates the balance

that otherwise only
bloody wars have forced.

Do not let yourselves be talked
into thinking it is impossible.

Don't let yourselves
be made to believe that

it is a pity for the economy,
the opposite is the case.

If we are all doing well,
and not just a small part of the population,

then the entire economy
will be doing well.

Because the more similar
the possibilities of all of us are,

the more just and content
we humans will live together.
