Synopsis: The passion of an abused idealist: Karl Koch, high school student in Hanover, is obsessed by the theories of a worldwide conspiracy propagated by the American Robert Anton Wilson in his bestseller "The Illuminates". Karl begins to work for the KGB as hacker; increasingly addicted to drugs, he becomes lost on his computer in the world's data networks. This extremely sensitive and exciting portrait by Hans-Christian Schmid of a highly talented, delicate German youth in the 1980s whose death was never really solved is based on a real case.
