• The Edukators [2004]

  Kashif Ahmed 02 August 2006

  

  Three young socialists play pranks on the wretched bourgeoisie, but find their own relationships coming under scrutiny when a kidnapping goes awry. Well written satire, good acting from the leads, and if this is an example of the new German cinema ('Goodbye Lenin!' and 'Downfall' being the others) then I"d definitely like to see more.

Crime comedy about Jule (Julia Jentsch), a waitress who moves in with her boyfriend Peter (Stipe Erceg) and his friend Jan (Daniel Bruhl), two young men united by their passion to change the world. But Jule has a secret: an automobile accident in the past has burdened her with lifetime payments to a successful businessman named Hardenberg (Burghart Klaussner). Peter and Jan also have a secret: they are the notorious 'Edukators' - mysterious perpetrators who break into the expensive homes of local yacht club members as an act of political rebellion. They wreak havoc and leave notes that read, 'Your days of plenty are numbered'. While Peter is away on holiday, secrets between Jan and Jule are disclosed and feelings between them intensify. They impulsively break into the home of the businessman to whom Jule is indebted. But their growing passion has made them careless and when they're forced to return to the villa the following night to retrieve a forgotten cell phone, Hardenberg surprises them. They have no choice but to call Peter for help, even if it means his finding out about their betrayal.

Jan, Peter and Jule are three leftist political activists who break into the homes of the rich, leaving a calling card from the 'Edukator'. When Jule leaves her mobile phone in a home that the trio have recently broken into, they return, only to find the owner waiting for them...
