Die fetter Jahre sind vorbei (2004), known as the Edukators in English, follows three young activists in Berlin, who challenge wealth inequality through symbolic break-ins. Jan and Peter secretly enter the homes of affluent individuals, rearranging furniture and leaving messages like “Your days of plenty are numbered,” aiming to unsettle owners without stealing anything. After Jule shares her debt struggles caused by an accident involving the wealthy businessman Hardenberg, she persuades Jan to target Hardenberg’s villa. During their break-in, the trio ends up kidnapping Hardenberg due to unexpected events. They take him to a secluded mountain cabin while deciding how to proceed.
