Mörderische Elite

Story

Intelligent school graduate, Jenny (Mina Tander), not only has a place at an elite university, but an attractive fellow student, Henning (Philipp Hochmair), as a boyfriend to boot. Then Jenny realises that Henning merely seduced her to benefit from her skills in decoding electronic data, to make a good impression on the University foundation’s chairman, Klee (Ulrich Noethen). Klee is pressurising students to pass on their specialist knowledge in return for receiving grants. When a student who refuses to do so disappears under mysterious circumstances, Jenny begins to suspect foul play… 29-year-old director Florian Baxmeyer presents a fast-moving thriller about knowledge as merchandise.
