Based on a real case, this thriller portrays the life of Hanover high school student Karl Koch who, obsessed with an American author’s conspiracy theories, works for the KGB, hacking into the world’s data networks. Pressure mounts, drugs are consumed and reality dangerously blurs into paranoia in this compelling thriller.

The screening will be introduced by regular Cornerhouse contributor Maggie Hoffgen. In association with the Goethe Institut, Manchester.
