Peter and Jan know that property is theft. So they teach the rich a lesson. They break into houses and rearrange the furniture as a warning to wealthy capitalists that their 'days of plenty are numbered'.
The two's best-laid plans take a twist when Peter's debt-ridden girlfriend, Jule, persuades Jan secretly to add her main creditor to the hit-list. The sudden infusion of spontaneity and intimacy puts hard-felt ideals in jeopardy and sets the screen alight with teasing allusions to Bader Meinhof and Crime-and-Punishment style happenstance. The genius is in the unforeseen moment.
The story unravels as a cat-and-mouse game of suspense and betrayal that examines not only youthful revenge against Capitalism but also the deceitful games people play between themselves - for love - for power. Who's zooming who?
