Plot
Luisa, a 20-year-old law student from an upper-class family, moves in to a collective housing squat and becomes an anti-fascist activist because she is opposed to the rise of the neo-Nazi political right in Germany.[8]
The plot is partly inspired by the biography of director Julia von Heinz, who engaged in anti-fascism herself when she was younger.[9] The political design of the movie's right-wing "Liste 14" party is also a reference to that of the group Alternative for Germany.[10]
