The essayistic feature film tries to present an overview of political concepts such as freedom, privacy, identity or resistance. Johannes calls his project an "ideotaining cinematic revue" about political ideas he considers important. He names frustration about the current level of political debate as a primary influence for making the film. He couldn't "tolerate ignorant and topically abusive comments on the 'Internet' anymore." So he teamed up with writer and activist Ishan Raval to "explain, re-evaluate, and sometimes sacrifice political golden calves of discourse."

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker and an after party.
