Germany likes to see itself as an egalitarian, middle-class society, but the film argues the gap between its richest and poorest has quietly become one of the widest in Europe. It follows economists, sociologists, and ordinary Germans, from precarious workers to inherited wealth holders, tracing how capital concentrates over generations through inheritance, property, and financial markets while wages stagnate. Interviews and data walk through how tax policy, lobbying, and political access let a small number of families and firms shape the rules that govern everyone else's economic life. The film treats inequality not as a side effect of the market but as a mechanism, showing how money translates directly into political influence, from campaign funding to think tanks that shape legislation. Archival footage and charts illustrate decades of shifting income and wealth shares, while personal stories ground the statistics in daily consequences: housing costs, retirement insecurity, and diverging life chances for children born into different classes. It ends without a tidy fix, framing the problem as structural and ongoing.
