Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei (The Edukators)

127' - 2004 - Drama, Romance - Format: 35mm - Dialogue: German, English
Jan, Peter and Jule are united by their passion to change the state of the world. Jan and Peter become "The Edukators," mysterious activists who non-violently warn the local rich their "days of plenty are numbered." Complications follow when vulnerable Jule ends up falling for both young men. An operation gone wrong and what was never intended to be a kidnapping brings the three young idealists face-to-face with the values of the generation in power. “The Edukators" is a movie about the last ten years of my life – wanting to be part of a political movement and never really finding one that worked”.
I believe that we live in a time when young people crave political change, but truly don’t know where to begin. Perhaps our societies have grown so individualistic that a collective dynamic is no longer possible. (Hans Weingartner)
