Hello. One, two..
The freedom that is pretended to us
is an illusion.
Yess!
For decades, we have been dominated and
exploited by an increasingly rich power elite.
A free market economy no longer exists
in a world in which overpowering power monopolies
can act as they wish without competition.
Conspiracy theorists wherever you look, we probably live in the age of the nuts.
What, is there something else coming?
Only an asset ceiling can reverse this trend.
I can no longer hear these pitiful envious people.
There must be a limit for private and corporate assets.
A high limit of 10 billion euros.
That alone would redistribute 50 percent of the world's wealth.
You're all about the billionaires.
And what about the less rich people, have you thought about them?
The resulting diversity benefits us all, including the poor.
Prices are again regulated by supply and demand and not determined by cartels.
So you are a damn capitalist after all, I knew it.
But now it's enough!
You bitch, there will be a afterplay.
How are you, all right?
The man was bleeding.
Yes, you too.
You have put up with a little too much.
There is no poison, just the wrong dose.
He will calm down again and sleep it off.
Looked much worse than it really was.
Hello, are you looking for something like this?
Yes, right.
Ah, you dropped it.
Get the hell out of here!
I just wanted to help.
Thank you.
Come on, let's get this bandaged.
Do you have something to disinfect?
Is this your husband?
But not that you now think we could become friends.
I am much too unreliable for that.
I need my freedom.
For the 18-4 closing of the Haneberg brothers,
the booking data of the foundation account are still missing.
Can you please tell me where exactly I can find them?
The accounting data of the foundations are always stored separately.
Depending on when they were made,
they are stored in the respective folders on the e-drive under "Special accounts".
Oh, yeah, right. Thanks.
With their surplus, they feed their foundation into a huge money bank.
And even if they officially act independently, they will not bite the hand that feeds them
and be at their master's service.
To the public, it all looks clean.
And we in the tax department can only think our part.
Although it is quite obvious what is going on.
Is everything in the legal area and is approved by the politics.
This possibility was created by the government.
What are we, as the tax authorities, supposed to do about it,
if it is officially allowed anyway?
I made a complaint to the department head about disguised tax fraud.
You still do that? You know she's being turned away.
They'll invoke the law, and rightly so.
But it is not right. It creates the problem.
That may be so, but we do not decide that.
We are officials who have to enforce the law and nothing more.
Now I'll show you.
But you have to get through me first.
You are in an Antarctic ice cave with summer clothes on
and your cell phone battery is empty.
There, better strengthen yourself again before it ends.
It suits you, summer clothes, even if it is much too cold.
You can't provoke me, I have a much too thick fur for that
and that will warm me even on the polar cap.
You'll definitely get them to melt with your outfit.
If you like I can give you private lessons.
You meet a mysterious man who makes you an...
The apartment was not exactly in a good condition.
They just painted over the mildew stains.
But the area is one of the best in the city and that is unfortunately reflected in the rent.
Well, good living is simply becoming more and more expensive.
80 percent of people live in rented apartments and not in condominiums.
I would have to be twice as old as my mother if I had to pay off this apartment.
And then I would finally have my own apartment before dying, at 140.
So it is more worthwhile to invest in a beautiful grave.
The shroud has no pockets.
90 percent of residential property is in the hands of companies with annual sales
of more than 100 billion euros.
These are mainly the large insurance companies, banks and food companies,
which in turn have been swallowed up by the conglomerates of even larger asset holdings.
As a home buyer for personal use, you are only a 7-digit serial number.
Aha, a seven-digit serial number, that sounds quite hopeless.
Yes, because there are so many.
Sure, I thought so.
It gives you the feeling that when you buy, you are now also one of the owners,
but the actual profit is made by others.
I believe you. As hopeless as it may sound, I've experienced it myself.
And I think about the things that I do most of the time very carefully.
After all, you're sitting at the source and you see the numbers, black on white,
moving across your desk every day.
Yes that may be, but everyone has the opportunity to work on something,
there are enough examples.
That was perhaps still possible 40 or 50 years ago,
after a war that made everyone equal.
Maybe that is the reason why wars are happening.
Because it seems to be the only way to restore equality by breaking everything.
The boss asked for you earlier when you were not there.
Where were you?
I went to the bathroom.
Sure.
In any case you should contact him when you are back.
Oh, he will be.
Yes?
Is here now.
Okay, I'll tell her.
You should go inside.
Now?
Yes,
right now.
Seems important.
Do you know what this is about?
He didn't tell me.
But he wasn't in such a good mood today.
Good luck my darling. He won't tear your head off.
Come in.
Please take a seat.
Did you recognize it?
I beg your pardon?
Mrs. Milberg, what were you thinking?
I don't know what you mean.
This is a charge of assault by an unknown woman.
Yes?
According to the injured party, this woman is very likely to work in this house.
And this woman used this footstool as a pedestal in a politically motivated action.
Does it look familiar to you?
This is covered by freedom of expression and is my right.
So you admit to having been this woman?
This man attacked me.
This is outrageous!
We are the tax office here, a state authority.
We cannot afford political activists and especially not violent ones.
He started it!
What were you actually thinking?
A civil servant who has been working in an exemplary manner for years
suddenly starts writing masses of dubious entries.
With which I may then occupy myself quite incidentally.
Only all of them were rejected because they were unfounded.
Because in all cases the accused practices of the persons concerned
were clearly within the scope of the law.
It is just not fair!
It is not our responsibility to decide that. On the contrary, we must not do it at all.
We are simply enforcing the law here.
Something must be done, and they know it!
You have the point. Something must be done,
namely that I hereby suspend you until further notice.
And if the accusations are confirmed, and it looks like they are,
you can almost certainly expect to be dismissed without notice.
Hey, Eva, you all right?
Yes everything is fine.
Except that I just got discharged.
What, you got laid off?
Just say it, because of the story in the park?
What did they say, how did they actually come up with you?
Well, it must not have been that difficult.
Such a sissy, ran like such a cowardly informer to the police to snitch on you.
I was no longer acceptable for such an important institution as the tax office.
And in a way they are right about that.
Don't talk nonsense. They are just conformist assholes.
They don't need their own opinion.
Come on, let's go for a drink. My treat.
Later, right now I'm going home and lie down.
Are you sure?
Don't worry, I'll be fine.
This will be a completely new life for you, starting today. You'll see.
Freedom!
The scratch marks on your face are from the guy.
And he still dares to turn you in? He's got a lot of nerve.
Well, I kicked him. When he was down.
You what?
But he got the bloody nose from the fall, that was not me.
After all, he started it and came at you.
Yeah, that's what happened.
You will probably still be allowed to defend yourself when someone attacks you.
And you only talked about your reform proposals?
Yeah, you know all about that.
Of course, but you have only told us this in private until now.
That you want to go public with it, you have not mentioned until today.
But you have to do something at some point. And not always just talk about it.
I'm with you on this, I also think it's right to make important issues public.
Yes, but if the reaction is so violent,
then you should also consider how to protect yourself from it.
Who could have counted on something like that.
I am sure that this was only an isolated case,
a particularly unfortunate coincidence with a particularly unpleasant person.
But how can you approve of that, she lost her job because of it.
If you lose your job because of something like this,
then there is something wrong with this society anyway.
That may be, but it is simply unreasonable not to think of oneself as well.
I would do it again.
Even if you knew what the consequences would be?
Yes.
I had to do something. And if that means losing my job, then so be it.
I don't think it is something special that I have to say.
Actually it is only a logical conclusion.
I just don't want to have to reproach myself later on
for doing nothing when it was still possible.
Who knows if it is even possible to act against the mainstream.
According to unconfirmed reports
from the board of Syfex, one of the largest food companies in Europe,
the long-planned and highly controversial merger with Sandrin, the second largest
and only remaining competitor on the market, will finally take place this year.
I don't believe it.
The antitrust authority, which is currently examining the case,
has already expressed concern in a first press release
that the merger will create a kind of unique position in the market.
In return, however, it has also emphasized Syfex' 10-point reform plan for ecologization
and rationalization of the food trade as trend-setting and particularly innovative.
They will agree to that, it looks like.
What else is a monopoly if not something like that?
They simply throw three hip terms at the feet of the population
and the purchased cartel authority says "yes" with thanks.
If they rationalize, as they say, they may be able to offer at lower prices.
The opposite is the case, jobs will be reduced and the profit margin increases
if prices are set arbitrarily without competition.
We just go over to the couch.
Come on, open your eyes,
look at me!
Well, are you back with us?
Yeah.
Breathe a few deep breaths first.
Water!
It's over.
Has it happened again?
Don't worry, nothing happened. We were there.
No, not again.
It's all good again.
Nothing is good.
We were also annoyed about what was in the news.
Just not as passionate as you.
That's right, not even close.
Please do not leave me alone.
Certainly not, we will stay with you.
What do you think, we are not leaving.
Do you promise me that?
Yes, indeed.
It is high time to do something about it.
Promise me you'll support me on this?
It is really important.
Yes..yes. I'm in.
But of course, we are friends.
You are right, it is really important. For all of us.
The planned merger of the two most powerful food companies
is one of the biggest mistakes of the current economic development.
It is our democratic civic duty to point out that this promotes monopolization, corruption
and mismanagement and subsequently leads to a standstill in the development of our society.
The monopoly power must be limited where it makes economic sense.
This certainly does not concern the small and medium-sized businesses
and also not the wealthy among you,
but will only affect assets above a two-digit billion range.
Only such a cap on power can reverse this development.
This compellingly logical measure will have positive effects
on small and medium-sized customers in the future.
That is why this concerns us all.
There is no doubt that inequality has reached a level that has replaced a free market economy
with a dictate of the powerful.
We ... called ... nobody without ... to take heart.
Test...one...two
We are called upon to oppose this..
Only with self-determined decisions..
Only with self-determined judgements can we live together meaningfully in a democracy.
Our path so far has led us in a completely wrong direction.
let us join forces
..so we join forces in the fight against the big corporations.
It was really very... well, I'd say it was a very special experience.
So tell me, how was it?
Well, the response of the audience has not taken on the dimensions originally assumed.
And what does that mean?
Well Eva, don't you want to tell?
Well, it couldn't have been that bad?
So... your little punk girlfriend was also there
and the three of us made a pretty illustrious picture for the passers-by.
Oh yes, and then there was the little problem with your megaphone.
Stop!
Good. It was a bust. But the direction was right in approach.
But definitely.
Next time I will be there too. I can distribute some snacks.
Exactly, that's what we needed. Food as bait.
Well, I mean that quite seriously. You know, first come the odeuvres and then the moral.
That's right, how could we forget that.
I know I'm a bit clumsy in social matters.
Oh iwo, what makes you think I would never have noticed.
That's sweet of you, but I know it is so.
You may be different from others in some things.
But that is exactly what makes you so special.
And to make sure that something in your private life changes,
we have made something for you.
Oh, yeah, what?
You know how exhausting your political commitment is.
And with so much selflessness you should also think about yourself
and take care of your physical well-being.
Since it has been a while since you were with a man,
we thought about what you could do.
You know that this is a sore point.
Yes, we know that and we respect that.
But maybe you just need a little push so that there can be a possible new beginning sometime.
It is all completely non-binding. You still have the free choice.
What have you done?
We have put a partner search profile for you on the net.
What have you done?
It is completely anonymous, no one will recognize you.
Without asking me.
Well, you never would have allowed it.
Exactly!
For once, you are right, I would never have allowed that.
And this is exactly why we decided not to tell you.
Is it already so bad about me?
Even worse.
It was worth the try, even if you will be angry.
We also assumed that you would be.
I can't believe you guys do this to me?
You don't have to do much, we have already found an attractive man for you.
I don't believe it!
He seems to be a nice man.
Promise me that you will look at him.
It is a completely non-binding meeting. You know, you have all the freedom to decide.
It's not an arranged marriage or anything, it's just a date.
We both felt that you just need a push to change things.
And that is the least we could do for you.
Here 7-4-3.
Suspicious female person in the west entrance area
tries to unroll and attach a kind of banner.
I will check it out alone for now, but please stand by.
Gotten 7-4-3, waiting for further information.
What are they doing?
This is not allowed, or do you have a permit for it.
Let me, this is an important message.
You are liable to prosecution for trespassing and damage to property.
I'm not damaging anything, it's just tape.
And for a house this ugly block is a bit too big.
By the way, my protest is absolutely peaceful.
I guess you'll have to call for backup.
What kind of toy do you have there?
7-4-3 coming. Everything okay in the west wing?
Well, don't you want to answer?
Let me go you fucking coward!
Shut up!
Never show your face here again, otherwise you won't get off so lightly!
You fuck!
I recognized you right away. The mark.
I'm sorry, but I didn't got around to getting one.
Nice to meet you, I am Victor.
Yeah, sure, me too.
When I saw her coming towards me, I knew immediately that it could only be her.
Oh, yeah?
Yes, you are... somehow different from the others.
Oh, a compliment to start with, did you get that from the flirt tips on the website?
This is not a compliment for everyone.
Many try to be as unobtrusive as possible, for example to fit in with a certain group.
But to be special, that's what everyone wants, isn't it?
Whether someone is special should be left to the eye and judgment of others.
But I'm not worried for tonight.
Shall we go for a walk?
Thank you.
So you didn't want to meet me at all
and you only doing this for the sake of your girlfriends?
So it is.
But then your friends know you very well.
What makes you think so?
Well I think of the correspondence in your name. It was very pleasant.
How do you know if I am pleasant?
Of course I don't know.
But for the short time I already know you.
And this first impression is perhaps comparable to the way
one approaches one another in writing without knowing each other.
This may be that there may be a common, public component to this, despite the private motive.
But probably the more important factor is wanting.
One can tell that you are a tax official.
I used to be. Now I work in a company that I audited before.
What I mean by this is that
you have a very clear but also distanced way of expressing yourselve.
I'm sorry if I'm too harsh. But I haven't been out with anyone for a long time.
I can well understand that.
After a long period of mourning I decided to want something from life again.
Yes, relationships between people are not easy.
When it finally works out with a person, and that doesn't happen very often,
then fate plays a trick on you.
Victor, maybe you don't want to see me anymore,
but I would like to see you again.
Very gladly Eva.
And you met just like that without having seen each other before?
How else can you see one?
Well via video telephony. Ever heard of Skype?
My friends had arranged it without me knowing about it.
Of course, I did not know that you can get pregnant from it.
It really was, believe me.
Such bitches, ey.
But they seem to like you.
Yes they probably do.
Besides that, I don't think you can see the real face through a video.
How true.
But these are the times we live in today.
If you can't deal with your alter ego, the damned screen presence,
then you simply don't exist in our brave new world.
Then I am not there. There's nothing I can do about it either.
Have you ever thought about recording your ideas on video and putting them on the web?
There would probably be more people watching you than over at the park.
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
There are already enough weirdos who make themselves ridiculous in the net.
But it would be worth a try, you never know. Maybe you have what it takes to go viral.
You'd be nerdy enough.
Yes, or to provoke a Schitstorm. I don't think I could take that.
Well, if you can fend off coke artists, then you can do it with a few uptight haters.
Come on, let's make a video.
What now?
Yes of course, when else.
The energy is now where the idea was born. We should take advantage of that.
I do not know. I don't think I can do this.
Let's think about where the best light for this is.
Come on, it will be fun.
Don't piss your pants, come on!
So, once to the window.
Little bit to the side.
And robot.
Doctor Eva Milberg, could you please tell us something about your thoughts on the
future development of our economic system?
Nonsense with Doctor, turn off the camera!
Don't be like that, you know it. Why don't you just tell people what you think.
Good evening Eva, I hope you had a pleasant day?
Victor, what a nice surprise.
Yes, it was exhausting, but also nice.
I have the feeling my work is needed and I can see the progress.
That sounds good. Yeah, that sounds good.
I was thinking, of course only if you have time and are not too tired,
whether we both want to do something together today.
Very much so, what did you have in mind?
We could take a look at the artists and street musicians on the quay.
Today is a long night of jugglers.
And in case we get hungry, I know a small, cosy restaurant there.
That sounds very tempting, gladly.
Let's go.
What right now?
But when else, the evening has already begun?
Thank you.
With pleasure.
It comes from the heart.
I believe you.
And please be careful with it.
Come here, I'll show you something.
Where are you going with me?
Just let yourself be surprised.
You will like it.
So, did I promise you too much?
Yes, that is really wonderful.
If each of these points could feel only approximately what I am feeling right now,
the world would be a better place.
What's the matter?
You, so early?
Yes, me. May I come in?
But of course.
You won't believe what happened.
What is it, tell me!
One moment.
You can remember our video that I recorded of you.
Yes.
I put it on the net for you. We talked about it.
Yes. And?
Well look!
What is there? I only see myself in your video.
Don't you have eyes in your head, here?
Yes?
482.000 clicks, Eva!
I see. And what does that mean?
Your video was seen by almost 500.000 people!
That is many.
Yes, very many. This is overwhelming!
You are a star now. A Youtube star.
I see.
I just uploaded the thing and didn't pay attention to it.
And when I checked this morning, I couldn't believe it, but it's true.
You cannot imagine how many messages you have received.
Messages?
Yes, people want to talk to you about your ideas.
Not all of them are positive but most are enthusiastic.
Well, I don't understand that anymore. You posted our video in my name.
Yeah, I told you so.
Ah, yes, I remember. But then I could not have guessed what would become of it.
Yeah, me neither. I like your opinions,
but I never thought that something like this would happen.
I mean, you don't know how many weirdoes there are on the net posting all kinds of stuff.
Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking.
That there is simply too much information on the net.
And therefore it is probably hopeless to publish something there.
Yes, but sometimes something like this happens.
You've gone viral.
So what now?
I don't know, no idea.
I mean, you could start by answering people, maybe we'll come up with something.
Okay.
But there are thousands of them!
What I have seen so quickly, some forums have already formed,
in which your video is hotly discussed.
That's just...
This is fantastic.
It's your big chance to reach a large public.
You have actually already reached them. Now you just have to learn how to handle it.
Although the riots that have flared up again in the city's socially deprived areas have been
pushed back into the suburbs by the police, the situation still seems confusing.
The Minister of the Interior has asked the Ministry of Defense for urgent assistance,
and in doing so has requested the deployment of federal special units to secure state checkpoints.
Eva Milberg's stellar rise to power and her call for the introduction of a general asset ceiling
gives the poor and the middle class renewed hope for an improvement in their situation.
The former tax official and Internet activist known for her political commitment
has become a star of the social media virtually overnight with a YouTube video.
If this limit, which should apply to every natural person but also to every legal entity,
were set at 10 billion, 50 percent of the total world wealth would be redistributed.
And yet only one percent of the people would be affected by this tax levy.
These figures alone show the enormity of the inequality in our society.
This inequality has become so huge that it massively damages our economy
and the really powerful one percent of people have all prices and information in their hands
and can manipulate and shape it according to their will.
That is why it is so important to recognize the sense of this asset ceiling
and the possibility to implement it democratically.
It is only a simple tax law and the offices to implement it already exist.
The one percent has to pay its taxes finitely, so that we can get 50 percent of our earth back.
And the people who finally pay their taxes will not become poor,
they will remain billionaires.
Well, I think Eva Milberg is simply fantastic, she opened my eyes.
I thought to myself, what do I care when billions are involved,
but now I know that we will all benefit from it.
She is an absolute nerd, but I believe her.
After all, she worked for decades in the Ministry of Finance.
How did you come across the video of Mrs. Milberg?
It is just the total hype on the net, it is shared and liked everywhere,
you can hardly miss that when you are online today.
In the past 24 hours alone,
Eva Milberg has received more than half a million clicks for her video "The Limit".
Doctor Milberg announced in a second video that she wants to confront
the corporations concerned and the current government
with the demands and thus initiate a political debate on the issue.
Would you be so kind as to ask Dario to come to me.
Thank you.
You called for me?
Dario, nice that you found time so quickly.
That goes without saying, I am there for you.
We have a little problem.
It's this activist from the net.
She managed to cause this hype despite our infobots.
I have already sent you the personal data.
I have heard about it and read your message.
Damned Internet.
The times when we only had to consider the TV stations are probably finally over.
It is already well advanced.
Yes, it is.
What can I do?
We must change the image of this personality as quickly as possible.
The way she is standing now, she is a pop star.
We could proceed with a similar strategy as with Callisto.
Something like that.
Only with the difference that this is a woman.
There it requires another personal blemish.
Drugs?
Would be conceivable.
But it must not take too long, we do not have much time.
It must work the first time, because this time there is no second chance.
Until we have launched the revelation facts,
the exitus must be completed.
Can I determine the procedure myself or do I still get instructions from 3-11?
You have a free hand.
I appreciate their tactical skills and trust you to find the right way.
You can rely on me.
I am being followed, someone is after me!
Who are you, what do you want from me?
Where are you?
Come on out!
We'll find you anyway.
Where have you been so long, we've been waiting?
Come on in,
what happened?
I don't know who he was, but he looked scary.
And he just followed you around?
Have you ever seen him before?
No, certainly not. He was completely unknown to me.
Well, maybe he just wanted to have a little chat with you.
This is certainly no way to start a conversation. He was trying to scare me.
Maybe you lack the experience of what men are like.
Should we not report this to the police?
I do not know. For them certainly too little has happened.
You're right, they have completely different problems.
But if I hadn't been hiding, something would have happened.
You weren't there. If you'd seen him, you'd think so too.
All right, calm down. You're safe now.
This has never happened to me before. Who's going to take care of me?
Now that you have become a media star, you will probably have to rethink.
What about you?
You don't know what something like that is like.
Everybody thinks that everything is fine with me anyway.
And that's why we spend the whole time dealing with Eva and her escapades.
Why don't you tell me what's going on?
I'm really sorry if my problems take up too much space and you come up short.
Although I have no problems with men otherwise,
but at the moment things are not going well, not at all.
But why don't you try the internet, that worked out very well for me.
No, that's not for me.
I need the outdoors, the real city life that takes place in public places and in the bars.
Yes but if it doesn't work?
What exactly is your problem?
Oh, it's the men.
They simply have no guts these days. They're all so intimidated.
What do you wish for one?
He can be a bit stronger and should go the whole hog.
You mean like Eva's admirer of today?
If he is the right one.
He was definitely not the right one, not even for you!
How do you know that? I'm not that good.
I know you probably hate this, but I wouldn't mind if he had money.
So I don't mind, I was married to a breadless artist before.
Yes, but I mean the charisma. It has to be right.
Oh, man. I just hope you don't let a big mouth and a big car blind you.
This obscures the view on the actual account balance.
No offense, but I am not a Buddhist monk who is satisfied with little.
I also like it big and strong.
Excuse me,
Doctor Milberg?
Ah, yes.
I recognized you right away.
Do we know each other?
Well from the television. That's where I saw you.
Oh, yeah, fine.
And what can I do for you?
If you allow
I would like to talk to you about your impressive career.
But it is not that impressive.
You are very popular in your video.
Thanks, it was my only appearance in the media so far.
Oh, don't be so modest, more will follow.
We will see.
The question is only whether you can live well from it.
Of my political commitment? Certainly not.
That is not my intention at all.
But after the loss of your job at the tax office,
you must surely have to accept financial losses.
I have a new job, I can't complain.
With one third of what they earned before?
I do not need much.
But how do you know that?
Who are you?
It need not frighten you that I speak to you.
I am just an interested observer, who thinks about people and their needs.
And what do you think my needs are?
When I look at you, I think you have similar needs as other people do and want the same.
You have the point. I do not want to put my needs above others.
So the average of the others.
The average of the others. Well, if that's the standard.
I don't want to leave you in the dark about me.
I work for a large corporation that has made it its business to create products for people
that make the lives of the average person easier,
or even better, enriched.
That sounds good at first, but unfortunately also like an advertising slogan.
Listen, whatever you are trying to sell me, I am not interested.
I do not want to sell you anything. On the contrary, I want to make you an offer.
Oh, yes, which one?
500 million in cash, or transferred to your account.
What?
Yes, you heard right.
And you can be assured that the offer is absolutely serious.
And what do you want in return?
This would indeed change your live completely.
You are entering a new class,
one that the average person would never have dared to dream of.
A kind of people who, through their power,
have a different understanding of values than the average, and live it.
I am convinced you have no idea what this really means.
Let me help you.
It is a life in complete freedom,
without this unbearable burden, which they used to call existential fear.
You can fulfill every wish,
really every wish.
It is a life like paradise.
If every wish fulfillment could be bought.
But that's just not the way it is.
Everything that has a value also has its price.
Believe me, there is.
We created the world this way. God created it this way.
You declare in oath that you renounce your political commitment to an asset ceiling
per person and get the 500 million transferred to their account the same day.
And the best thing about it is that this amount is still far below their required upper limit.
So with your terms, absolutely just.
The upper limit aims at breaking up monopolies of power.
It creates an economic diversity that a healthy market economy needs in order to function.
Once you are in possession of such a volume, you will think differently.
This changes your perspective completely.
You don't have that much, do you?
And only dream of it.
Yes. And worse.
Like with a carrot in front of your nose you let yourselve be manipulated with it.
My answer is no.
You can tell your boss that.
Unfortunately this is the wrong answer.
So I have to tell you that if you do not change your attitude,
it could have a negative effect on your health.
Are you threatening me?
This is a well-meant advice.
Laura.
Have you been out?
Come on in.
Thank you.
You will surely ask yourself what I want with you at this time of the day.
Just when something like that of mine happens rather rarely.
No, I'm glad you came by.
That's good, because I wanted to talk to you.
Yes?
About your work.
Oh there is everything in order. I don't get rich, but the people are okay.
No, I don't mean that.
It's about your political work.
You know that I do not always agree with you one hundred percent.
You don't have to, I prefer an open debate to speechless ignorance.
It's just that your opinion could suddenly have a direct impact on my development.
I don't quite understand.
Well, you're my friend, right?
Ah, yes.
Right.
All the more unfortunate that your work, at present, directly influences my possibilities.
My political work.
Yes.
But in how far does it do that?
Well, if you let your commitment to the upper limit stay,
it would change my situation abruptly. And that for the better.
Today I received an interesting offer that is directly related to your political activities.
Aha, I got a similar offer.
Eva, I beg you, don't you want to think it over again?
I mean... what we could do then, together.
Eva, don't do that.
That is so selfish of you.
No, it is not!
Unfortunately you force me to.
Sorry, I have to go now.
You are right about one thing, there are limits everywhere.
Also of what is sufferable for a human being.
Come on pick up, where are you?
Excuse me, aren't you Agnes, a friend of Eva Milberg?
Yes, I know Eva. And who are you?
I am Victor, her boyfriend.
I think I know that Eva has already told you a lot about me.
Ah, you're Victor.
Eva has actually told me quite a bit about you. Nice to meet you.
You know, I'm looking for her right now, trying to reach her by phone, but in vain.
I'm kind of worried, we had an appointment for tonight and I'm a little late.
She hasn't responded to my messages though. That is not her usual way.
Maybe something has happened.
Right, that doesn't sound like Eva at all. Or did you have a fight with each other?
No, definitely not. On the contrary, it has just developed particularly well.
Yeah, she told me that too.
Do you want to try it with your phone. Maybe mine is not working properly.
Okay.
She does not pick up.
Maybe something really happened. Is she at her apartment?
I don't think so, at least I rang the bell there earlier and she didn't open.
But maybe she just didn't hear them.
Yes but why not?
Maybe she's sleeping.
We had an appointment.
Or she is...
Fainted?
It really could be that something has happened
I'll check this right away.
I'm going with you.
Hopefully nothing has happened to her.
Here it is faster.
All right?
Be right there.
Hello.
Who's there?
It's just unbelievable
that Laura did something like this.
I still can't believe it.
I have asked for time to think about it.
I could not suspect that they were criminals.
But I knew immediately that it was wrong.
Hello.
Hello Eva, my God where are you? I've been trying to reach you for hours.
Hello Victor, nice to hear your voice.
I was so worried, what happened?
I can't talk about it now.
This sounds worrying. Are you okay?
Yes, I am fine again, Marion takes care of me.
Can I come up? I'd like to see you.
I would also like to see you, but I think it is better if I rest here a little bit.
I could accompany you home and take care of you too.
That's sweet of you, but it's a women thing, you know, we need this from time to time.
I understand that, but I almost died of fear.
Don't worry, I just need to get a good night's sleep.
Then I'll be there for you again.
Then make sure you get some rest, a good sleep is the best medicine.
I will do.
Do you still remember our first evening.
Yes, of course.
We met where all tourists meet, remember?
Yes... yes, I can remember.
You know, I am just a tourist one who is passing through.
I think I know what you mean.
I still see you before me as if it was yesterday.
How you stood there, under the lantern, with your white lily.
Yeah, like it was yesterday.
And yet we have spent so much time together and accompanied each other a little on our way.
Yes, we did. We walked side by side and were there for each other.
But it will go on, on and on until we have arrived.
For so many years I have been travelling around and I long for the destination,
I wish to enter the harbour, where there is no more fear.
I would like to see you there again, where we first met.
Let's do that.
You promise me?
I promise.
Then I will stop now and let you rest.
Yes, I think I need it now.
Sleep well and have sweet dreams.
I will do.
Good night.
Doctor Lombard, the appointment with the chancellor. She has just arrived.
Yes thanks. Let her come in.
As you wish.
Madam Chancellor, what a joy to receive you.
The pleasure is all mine.
I hope the private setting and our modest premises will suit your agenda.
Thank you, our meeting comes at just the right time.
I am impressed. And modesty is probably more a matter of opinion.
I would like to get straight to the point. The Syfex cooperation, has asked for this meeting
because we are hoping for support from you for our planned merger.
As you know, the transaction is currently being reviewed by the antitrust authorities
and will hopefully be approved soon and without further delay.
Dr. Lombard, I am of course aware of your interests regarding a merger with Sandrin,
which, by the way, is the second largest food company after Syfex in the Eurasian market.
That such a project would be examined by the antitrust authorities
is probably more than obvious to any outsider.
And that is exactly the reason why we turned to you.
At present, to the extent that we have received this information from reliable sources,
it is not necessarily certain that this merger, as we have planned it,
will be approved by the antitrust authorities.
Which, by the way, is subject to their jurisdiction.
Unfortunately I have to disappoint you.
The antitrust authority, which is supposed to prevent
the formation of monopolies on international markets,
is an independent authority of the highest importance,
which ensures the continued existence of competition,
which, as you certainly know, is one of the most fundamental
correctives of self-regulating price development.
What belongs together will come together, you know that very well.
All attempts by antitrust authorities on the different continents of our planet
have never been able to prevent this absolutely logical and completely natural process.
This authority only serves, a meanwhile toothless policy,
which does not want to lose its influence completely.
In order to set a media-effective scene for the politics of occasion,
and to set an example here and there.
Maybe it has become like that in the meantime.
But the necessity of such an authority is then all the more obvious.
It is the only remaining instrument against market-damaging superiority
and an unrivalled pricing policy.
You have learned this well by heart.
Do you have any idea how many people out there are using Syfex products?
There is no one left who has not come into contact with us in some way.
Not even you. Your shoes, the hairspray in your frissure,
even the butter on your breakfast bread is from us.
We are the largest consumer goods retailer in the world and we continue to expand.
No one will be able to stop us from doing so.
I and my colleague would like to make you an offer
to settle our small difference of opinion.
And I think it is a fair one.
We have been supporting your party with financial aid for years now.
This commitment could soon reach a temporary peak.
With a generous donation, for example, in the amount of 3 billion euros.
That is indeed very generous.
One third of this sum is at your personal disposal,
it will not appear in the books and nobody will miss it.
Our party will certainly need this money.
Definitely. For example, to be able to finance their future election campaign.
I am extremely conscious of and deeply grateful for your donations,
including for my past and highly successful election campaign.
But I am, as you know, a public person
and my actions are closely monitored by critics and the press.
And I cannot approve of this merger, especially not as a leading economic party.
I advise them to accept our offer. Believe me, it is better for you and your health.
Chancellor,
how nice to finally meet you in person.
Like almost all media figures, you look much smaller and narrower than on the screens.
I am convinced you are making the right decision.
Imagine, in the suburbs riots have started again.
This time the police took a hard crack at the demonstrations and knocked them down.
Something like that used to upset you.
I know you're trying to shake me up.
But don't worry, I'm awake, I just need a little time to regain my strength.
You saw through me, I wanted to appeal to your fighter heart.
Maybe it will help you to overcome your own pain. I think you need to see this.
Completely surprisingly the largest merger of two companies in recent economic history
was approved by the current Federal Government before the decision period expired.
Despite the greatest concerns of leading representatives of the economy,
the merger of the two largest remaining food groups and previous competitors on the market
was today approved in full on the direct instructions of the Chancellor.
The merger is flanked by a series of socio-economic measures, making job security
and the guaranteed continuation of social peace the top priority for the decision.
Even before that, the riots in the poor quarters of the metropolitan areas had been cited
as the main argument for similar mergers and the associated easing
of the general level of competition.
Warning voices from the ranks of the economic sciences,
which see a move away from a lively market economy
toward a monoploistic planned economy, were rejected by the responsible Ministry of Finance.
I know this is insane, but we can't do anything about it right now.
This will concern all of us, so why doesn't anyone notice?
Now it is important that you calm down. Then we can think about what to do.
I am calm. I'm calm.
Yes that is good, it is better for you.
It is a corrupt regime, quite simply a corrupt regime, and everyone thinks we are free.
Your phone.
Is not a stored number.
Hello?
Hello Mrs. Milberg?
This is Nora Villion, you may know me. I work in the newsroom on LBN.
Yes this is Eva Milberg speaking. And I just saw you on the news.
Yes, exactly, the recording. And that is also the reason why I call you.
I was quite shocked by what you reported about the merger.
I thought so.
I know your political activities and have reported on your internet appearance.
It is unbelievable what is going on right now under the eyes of the public, and that,
as it looks, without much resistance.
It is the small steps and time that make it invisible to the population.
I would like to face up to my responsibility as a media representative
and make you and her thoughts known to a larger part of the population
in a large television interview.
Would you be willing to do this?
An interview, for television?
Yes, exactly.
The fact is that Syfex is now also interested in the television station I work for
and wants to gain even more power over the reports.
And I absolutely must prevent that. Please let us do this interview.
I am happy to give you this interview. I hope we can achieve something together.
Very good. I'm sure we can.
When do we want to meet?
You okay?
Yes.
I thank you for being here.
5 seconds to air.
I hope everything goes well.
It will, for sure.
And Go!
For the big live interview, we have, today for current reasons,
the activist and former tax office employee Dr. Eva Milberg,
known through her Internet presence, as our guest.
Welcome.
The two largest food companies in Europe become one
and thus the sole market leader of almost all products we consume as food.
Why do you have something against this, what is it that upsets them so much?
That is more than obvious.
We live in a free market economy, whether we like it or not,
in which prices are determined by supply and demand.
And if there is only one offerer without competition,
then that determines the prices alone and after its discretion.
Does this mean that food prices will rise as a result?
This is very likely, at least there is
no longer a regulatory system that has existed before through competition.
A state is reached that resembles the planned economy in former communist systems.
In many areas of the economy this state, which was created by monopolisation, already exists.
This sounds like a significant problem. How can we counteract this?
Limit the size of power monopolies.
At first this sounds like an anti-economic measure, but the opposite is true.
If power, i.e. assets, were limited, competition
would arise again and productivity would increase.
In return, prices fall or settle at a realistic level.
Why has this law not been applied once before in the entire history of mankind?
Such considerations have been around for a long time.
Aristotle suggested the limitation of wealth early on.
Marx also pointed out the danger of monopolization
and especially in the current debate it is proposed by many economists.
So why is the border so little known?
After the Milgram Experiment, 2/3 of the people are willing to kill on the order of a superior.
They are, so to speak, in bondage to power and do not trust their own opinion.
The party of those in power thus has a constitutional majority.
This is why it is so important to control public opinion through the media.
The Syfex Group, by the way, plans to take over this channel in the coming quarter,
in order to most likely broadcast other news than this one.
Until now, wars have taken over the task of restoring balance
after periods of great inequality.
The limitation of assets per person, including those of partnerships
such as large corporations, would be a simple and effective tax law
that could be easily implemented with our existing institutions.
And all this without human sacrifice.
You want to stand for election?
Yes, I would like to stand as a candidate for the upcoming European elections
No physical or legal person may own more than
ten million times the minimum monthly need of a human being.
That would be 10 billion euros in our latitudes.
That is a limit that will not make anyone who is wealthy today poor.
And it is a reasonable size for companies to make all necessary investments.
Thank you very much for this interview and I wish you all the best for the upcoming election.
Dearest Eva, I am so happy that we meet at the place
where we have seen each other for the first time, I can hardly wait.
By the way, I watched your performance on TV, you were great, so combative.
I'm sure you are a great role model for many of the hopeless people.
I am so proud of you. If only I could tell you how happy I am to see you again.
Sorry but I was delayed.
Please, it was not even 10 minutes, and besides, it is my pleasure to wait for you.
Finally you are here.
I could not even remember what it was like to be taken in your arms.
How could you let us wait so long for this?
Oh, be quiet and kiss me!
You are the one who inspires my thinking and nourishes my confidence.
You are the key in my life.
Never before has my destiny been so closely connected with a person as with you.
Before I met you, my life was empty and my joys were stale.
But then I met you, in the crowd of the city, which is made similar by loneliness.
There you stood, in the midst of all the people, not different, not conspicuous, there with me.
I look at you, now, and my doubts disappear.
I feel your essence flowing into me and fulfilling me.
Your blase presence extends the moment of the now,
which separates the future from the past, over the day, over the year,
over the entire time of our being together.
Your face, becomes one with the space we are in,
one with the city and its people, one with the world that surrounds me.
Your eyes, they look at me, they draw me like a stream in your direction
and lead me where I have not been yet.
Your body is part of me and my body is part of you.
We both become one, and life begins.
Some things happen as if they had been fixed for a long time.
How do you feel?
As if a warm stream flows through my body. Because you hold me in your arms.
Yes, I hold you.
I suddenly feel so cold. Hold me tighter.
Do not be afraid, I am with you.
I am not afraid when you are with me.
Just let it happen.
People are like that, they need the sacrifice to believe.
This cannot be, this can
Eva, you can't be dead!
This cannot be.
It is as if I can still hear her voice.
Did she live here alone?
Yes.
Eva has long suffered from a broken relationship.
She could not get over the fact that her fiance at that time
had left her shortly before the wedding.
Why couldn't anyone else find them?
Perhaps she has become too suspicious, through the painful experience.
We have at least tried again and again to spur them on to try once more.
But she did not want to... Couldn't do it anymore at some point.
Time alone changed her.
She seemed to me to be a life-loving woman.
And she was, especially when she met someone else again.
She literally blossomed.
You loved her.
Do you want something to drink?
Thank you.
I took care of Eva as good as I could.
We were probably her only friends.
That was enough not to take her seriously.
It was only when she caused a big stir with her ideas
that we realized what she might have been.
We actually never really got to know her.
Perhaps you are now reproaching yourself that you could not take better care of her.
I felt similar with this.
But that is not right. Eva knew exactly what she was doing.
She was like a child in certain things. When it came to love, she needed our help.
And you have helped her.
Yes, we turned her over to her killer.
They were hardened killers. They would have tracked Eva down anyway.
There was nothing anyone could do about it.
If only I could believe that.
She knew that she would die that night. And this by the hand of her lover.
You do not know yet?
Eva informed me shortly before her death and told me the locations of the hidden cameras.
Which cameras?
Eva recorded her murder.
With cameras that she had previously placed around the crime scene.
What?
Yes, she acted in full consciousness. She wanted me to release the recordings.
This is incredible. She really did that?
Yes, yes she did.
She told me.
I knew it,
But, I was too late.
You could not have changed it, otherwise Eva would have given you the possibility.
You were supposed to find the recordings and save them.
And you did.
Yes, I did.
Then we will fulfill the wish of Eva.
Maybe we do not understand everything even now.
Maybe she knew the people better than we admit to ourselves.
I, for my part,
will cherish the legacy of Dr. Eva Milberg
and carry it into the world
as far as it is in my power.
And I will help
as much as I can.
The political activist Eva Milberg is dead.
She was murdered last night in the center of the city by a contract killer.
She died by the injection of poison by a man whose identity could be established beyond doubt
after the first evaluation of a secretly recorded video of the crime.
In all probability, the man was acting on behalf of an influential corporation
that wanted to prevent Milberg's sudden popularity
and the associated possible change in tax law by murdering her.
These pictures were taken with the help of surveillance cameras mounted in the center.
The identity of the perpetrator was established
with a probability bordering on certainty as that of Victor Menard.
He is a long-time employee in the security department of Syfex,
the group that has already made headlines with the largest merger
ever planned in the food sector.
The extent to which Group Board member Phillip Lombard is involved
in the murder of Eva Milberg is currently being investigated.
The suspicion seems to be well-founded,
since he himself founded the security department 7 years ago
and the suspected perpetrator is still under his personal supervision.
The video has already been handed over to the responsible public prosecutor's office,
which in turn has started investigations.
As there is an acute danger of flight due to the overwhelming evidence,
three people were already taken into custody before this article was published,
including the suspected perpetrator Victor Menard and the CEO Phillip Lombard.
Eva Milberg, who wanted to run for the upcoming European Parliament elections
in order to introduce a maximum wealth limit per person,
was considered for an entire generation to be a beacon of hope for a political change
towards balance and justice.
But that was apparently enough to get into the firing line of the rich and powerful,
who perceived Milberg's ideas not as a chance but exclusively as a threat.
a little bit closer to the window
It is now being examined by the election commission to what extent Eva Milberg,
despite her death, can put her tax idea to the coming election.
Because the activist, who became known with an Internet video,
will probably remain alive forever in the hearts of the countless poor and forgotten.
Now.
No physical or legal person may own more than 10 million times
the minimum monthly need of a human being.
Do you think people understand that?
Yes, but sure, sooner or later they will.
Although for many, limiting company assets, and this is the main purpose of the limit,
may sound contradictory to growth, this simple tax law, through revived competition,
would fuel our economy to a degree we could not have imagined before.
Yes, according to the principles of the market economy.
I do not understand why nobody wants to understand this.
Me neither. But that was understandable in any case.
Hold on.
Does this thing work at all?
What, are you crazy? I'm working my ass off here and you're not even recording?
Shit, look, the lens is fully tarnished.
The main actress urgently needs to be put in make-up again.
I'll smack you.
It is a peaceful revolution that democratically creates the balance
that otherwise only bloody wars have forced.
Do not let yourselves be talked into thinking it is impossible.
Don't let yourselves be made to believe that
it is a pity for the economy, the opposite is the case.
If we are all doing well, and not just a small part of the population,
then the entire economy will be doing well.
Because the more similar the possibilities of all of us are,
the more just and content we humans will live together.
