Synopsis
Nine fictitious documentaries and films reflect the mood of late 1970s Germany, particularly the two-month period in 1977 when a businessman was kidnapped by the RAF (Red Army Faction). The kidnap had been made to orchestrate the release of the original leaders of the RAF, aka the Baader-Meinhof.
Cinematic DNA
There were always situations when filmmakers reacted very quickly to certain political events. I remember having been always thinking about Deutschland im Herbst (Germany in Autumn), about how those filmmakers made their contributions. It's always been an inspiration for me, this reaction to something.
