Feature film. Fiction.
Lilo and her friends like their school. But overnight, the Neue Leistungspartei (NLP — “New Achievement Party”) comes into power, with the new school principal, Engelbert, and his sidekick heading up a violent regime. From now on, only discipline, performance, and progress count. For the students at the school, a seemingly hopeless struggle begins.
The film class at the SchulerInnenschule im WUK grapples with socio-political themes. The students collaborate in developing a film idea in which current issues and socio-political topics are explored. The film Über Nacht – Eine neue Macht (“A New Power Overnight”) emerged from the students’ engagement with elections and political power and powerlessness in a democratic state and the resulting visions of the future from the students’ perspective.
