Director Hans Weingartner has made a film about the generation gap. Our main character, played by Daniel Brül, still has the ideologies of 1968 in his mind, although he is from a younger generation. In his attempt to change the modern capitalist and consumer society in which we live, he breaks into the houses of rich people, and instead of stealing, he rearranges their furniture, and basically turns their houses upside down. He always leaves a small note saying "the best years are over". He does this with the help of a friend. When this friend goes to Spain for an important job interview, Daniel meets his girlfriend. She learns about Daniel's break-ins. They decide to break into one house. Unfortunately, something goes wrong and the film takes a different and even more interesting turn of events. The owner of the house comes in, they kidnap him and hit the road. What comes next is an interesting psychological analysis of the main characters. The story keeps you awake until the end because you don't know what will happen to any of them.
