DIE FETTEN JAHRE SIND VORBEI

R: Hans Weingartner

Jan, Peter and Jule are living out their rebellious youth. Jan and Peter become „The Edukators,” mysterious perpetrators who non-violently warn the local rich their „days of plenty are numbered.” They break into rich villas and rearrange the possessions of the wealthy owners. Nothing is ever stolen, no one ever gets hurt. Complications follow when vulnerable Jule ends up falling for both young men. Reckless choices result in danger. An operation gone wrong and what was never intended to be a kidnapping brings the three young idealists face-to-face with the values of the generation in power.
