In 1990, as East and West Germany rush towards reunification, Maren, Robert and their childhood friends stumble upon a startling secret: millions in soon-to-be-worthless East German marks hidden in an underground vault. With the current exchange deadline looming, they – joined by neighbours and old comrades – embark on a bold, chaotic plan to retrieve as much money as they can carry. The spirited heist comedy, inspired by real events, captures the dizzying hope and absurdity of those transitional days.
