Die Grenze
Germany in the near future: the economic situation has deteriorated dramatically, the social mood is simmering and the political camps are becoming more radicalized. Chaotic conditions are driving people onto the barricades and into the arms of the extreme right-wing DNS party, which is planning to secede economically and socially from individual federal states. To prevent this nightmare, the federal government sees only one option: to secretly build up the leading candidate of the opposing left-wing party.
