The Edukators: Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei

I just finished watching "The Edukators," a very interesting film with Daniel Brühl, Julia Jentsch, Stipe Erceg and Burghart Klaußner. (On the cover of the DVD it has Klaubner instead of Klaußner or Klaussner - both of those are spellings of his name, but Klaubner is not) Daniel Brühl, Julia Jentsch and Stipe Erceg played the roles of three friends. Jan, Jule and Peter. At the beginning of the film, Jule takes part in a protest against sweatshops. Jan and Peter call themselves the Edukators. Peter had worked for a company that installed security systems in the houses of rich people. He and Jan enter the houses of the people with those systems while they are on vacation. They usually do not steal anything, but they rearrange the furniture and leave a message saying, "Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei," or "Sie haben zu viel Geld." They say their goal is to make the rich people less secure about how safe they really are. Jule had been in an accident in which she hits the car of a rich man. She does not have any insurance, and she has to pay for the car, 100,000 Euros. While Peter is on vacation Jan tells her what they have been doing. She talks him into letting her do a job in the house of the man whose car she hit. They end up being caught by him. Things become very complicated. There is the question of whether they are taking actions because of idealism or personal interest. It has the elements that I really like in a movie: It is humorous and thought provoking at the same time. I highly recommend this movie.
