Discussion with current Villa Aurora fellows Marc Bauder and Dörte Franke
Twenty-year-old Mike, an attractive and intelligent dropout, becomes involved in a parallel world of international lobbyists and former GDR secret service agents who work together for economic advantage. His initial mistrust turns into curiosity and then admiration when he realizes that his own life is more closely connected with this network than he had previously believed.
The System premiered at the 2011 Max Ophüls Prize Film Festival. It won the Cine Star award 2011 at the film festival in Schwerin, the DEFA advancement award at the film festival in Cottbus and was nominated for the German Filmprize (Best Actor).
Marc Bauder and Dörte Franke are both founders and owners of the production company bauderfilm.
