Germany's snap election campaign begins on the same day Donald Trump wins the US presidency and the German coalition government collapses. Filmmakers Stephan Lamby and Christian Bock spend the following weeks following the frontrunner candidates through the shortest, most contentious Bundestag race in post-war history. The CDU/CSU under its leadership enters as favorite while the Social Democrats, Greens, and FDP scramble after their coalition's breakup, with the campaign playing out against a struggling economy, immigration disputes, energy policy fights, and an unpredictable US administration overhead. Behind-the-scenes access shows strategy meetings, campaign stops, and candidates reacting to shifting polls in real time, while the film tracks how eroding trust in mainstream parties is feeding support for the far right. Interviews with politicians and campaign staff sit alongside news footage from the eventful months between the government's fall and election day, building a close-up account of how a country tries to choose new leadership while its old political consensus is visibly breaking down.
