SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Jan, Peter and Jule are living out their rebellious
youth. They are united by their passion to change the state
of the world. Jan channels his anger into causes. His hip
roommate Peter shares the same ideals, but he’s much
more relaxed. Peter's girlfriend Jule has just moved in because
she can't make ends meet on her waitress' salary.
Unknown to Jule, Jan and Peter are the ‘Edukators’,
mysterious perpetrators of creative, non-violent warnings
to the local yacht club members that their "days of plenty
are numbered." As it happens, Jule has a secret of her
own: an accident in an uninsured vehicle has left her with
a lifetime of monthly payments to a rich businessman named
Hardenberg. While Peter is away on holiday, Jan and Jules
recklessly break into Hardenberg's villa for some "edukating."
They also give in to the feelings that have been growing between
them.
When Jan and Jule are forced to return to the villa to retrieve
a forgotten cell phone, they are caught in the act by Hardenberg.
They have no choice but to call Peter for help, at the risk
of his finding out about their hidden romance. When the trio
makes the rash decision to kidnap the rich entrepreneur and
retreat to a relative's mountain cabin, the young idealists
find themselves face-to-face with the values of the generation
in power...
