Wolfgang Schorlau delivers a biting commentary on a political milieu that prioritizes power over the planet, centering on a politician whose career is threatened by his own mother.
In 2025 Berlin, the gas lobby pushes for Karsten Richter to become minister to avert climate neutrality measures. However, Richter's mother, a first-generation climate activist, decides to intervene, kidnapping herself to send a message about her son's lack of environmental conscience. A dramatic and absurd game of cat-and-mouse ensues in the corridors of power.
