Capital Power
As candidate for the Conservative party, dedicated attorney Susanne Kröhmer mounts an underdog campaign against reigning mayor Manfred Degenhardt. Susanne has to risk all for her electoral chances - her integrity, her ideals, her future plans. When she finds out she is pregnant, she has to decide how far she's willing to go to achieve her goals against all odds ...
A gripping thriller about the game of power, media, and the personal toll it takes on politicians when spin doctors start twisting the message to fit the packaging. Directed by Friedemann Fromm ("Weissensee"), it stars Anna Loos ("Night Over Berlin", "Anatomy"), Thomas Thieme ("The Lives of Others", "The Door") and Burghart Klaussner ("The White Ribbon") in the lead roles.
