The Wave

Synopsis: High school teacher, Rainer Wegner, may be popular with the students, but he's also unorthodox. He's forced to teach autocracy for the school's project week. He's less than enthusiastic at first, but the response of the students is surprising to say the least. He forces the students to become more invested in the prospect of self rule, and soon the class project has its own power and eerily starts to resemble Germany's past. Can Wegner and his class realize what's happening before the horrors start repeating themselves?

Based on a true story

THE WAVE:

Good morning.

Good morning.

Yes exactly, and always be on the watch

for the kids smoking in the schoolyard, OK?

Hello, my precious.

Well, my rocker?

You know we teachers are

lazy, don't spoil our image.

I only need to copy a few worksheets.

Have you already been at Kohlhage's?

No, why?

Oh, she has asked for you.

Then I'll go.

Autocracy? I thought it was very

clear deal that I'll do Anarchy course.

Dieter Wieland just

presented his concept to me.

He spent whole week preparing

hard he mastered it perfectly...

...and I just started to

prepare over the weekend.

Yes, bit late, right.

Wieland, Wieland have no

idea at all about the topic.

I've studied in Berlin, I have lived

five years in the last house in Kreuzberg.

better suitable to do it, than me?

If you really care so much then you can ask

Mr Wieland whether he want to switch with you.

Could you do it again...

You make a deal with him yourself.

Mr. Wieland.

Mr Wenger.

It is about the issue

for the project week.

Yes, and?

I wanted to ask you if you could switch?

I have Autocracy.

Alea iacta est.

The die is cast.

You know very well how much

I would like to teach Anarchy.

Seems even too likely to me.

In the Project Week we focus on teaching the students

about the benefits of the democracy for the world.

How to mix Molotov cocktails...

...maybe only in the Chemistry lessons.

Have a Nice day.

I loved you...

...you have betrayed me.

But the dream of life,

of love, confidence,...

...this once real dream

I have not forgotten.

I want to build it

up with my billion,...

...change the past by destroying you.

Honey!

I thank you for the bouquete.

Would anything change, if I

lie in a box in Golden Apostle?

He is really ridiculous, man.

Not true?

Do you really know.

I will take you in your coffin to Capri.

Moment, he says quite something else.

Now I want to say it so.

Ferdi dude, but this one time we wanted to do

it through the End, without interruption, right?

You have stopped it.

Supreme Theatre rule, Karo :

"Always continue."

Dennis, you wanted to compare

play's critique for capitalism...

...to current globalisation issues.

Yes, and that is why I also show

the play in more contemporary manner.

It is okay if it is

contemporary, but this is silly.

You can not enforce it.

Yes, we actually play Drrenmatt,

not some rubbish comedy club piece.

I thank you for the wreaths,

the chrysanthemums and roses.

Noble.

Hey, that sounds totally shitty!

Sorry, I'm most certainly not

going to to say it in that way.

Forget it.

Quite simply, if Ferdi isn't

going to follow the script,...

...then I can also not play.

He is' still young square.

Oh man, I'm not in the mood any more.

I am leaving now, are you going with me?

It's really better, if...

If the piece is played

much more serious.

Yes, there's simply no sense

if each one does what he wants.

Are you coming to the game today?

Lisa and I have yet to learn Spanish.

Still have the whole afternoon.

Well, what courses

did you registered for?

Entered?

Yes, for the Project Week.

They hanged the lists already?

Sure.

I want to take Autocracy.

Yes cool, I'll be there, too.

Then I must....

Would you sign me in too?

For what?

Well, for that one you are taking too.

Okay.

See you.

Now once again pull

yourself together, okay?

Now i want to see a

real, aggressive play.

Pay attention to defense and

go for Konter cover, okay?

For your knowledge, we have now

Marco. Marco, this

one goes for you, too.

Yes, work together.

Yes, pay attention to the defence.

And hold together, play

together. Okay? 8 minutes to go.

Once more, now come, come, go.

Watch out!

Beautiful, beautiful

go to the front now!

Beautiful, Marco!

Give it!Give the Game! Sinan is free!

- Marco, I am free!

- Trust me just once.

Damn it, what are you doing again!?

Sinan was free!

...free for a date, or what?

What's wrong with you ?

Martin, now tell us, yes?

Tell me, against what can

we actually rebel today?

Nothing has any value anymore, yes?

Everyone has only his...

His own pleasure in mind.

What our generation is missing...

...is a common goal...

that will bring us together.

That is the spirit of

our times, get a grip.

The most googled person

in Internet is Who?

Paris "F***ing" Hilton.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Without sh*t.

Hey, let it out. It will be better.

Stolti.

And Stolti, do you have some dope today?

Yes, of course.

And it's really one, or?

Of course,...

...colleague of mine brought

it from Holland yesterday.

Is your brain completely burned out, why

are u running around with so much grass.

I will worry about the cops myself.

What do u want for it?

Nothing.

- What?

- I'll give you for free.

You are my homies.

Monday

Baby!

The water is totally

cool, probably 16 degrees.

Wouldn't you like to swim for a while?

That would be good for you.

Maybe later.

How is your shoulder?

Is back in normal.

You should not overload it?

No, no.

Do you want some coffee?

Yes. Thank you.

Good morning.

Is there something for free?

- All fresh, Rainer?

- I hope.

- Good morning, Rainer.

- Sinan.

Quite frankly I'm a bit surprised...

...that so many are interested

in the Autocracy topic.

In your place, I would

rather pick Anarchy.

By "old fart" Wieland?

These are your own words.

Well...

Autocracy, what is it?

Come on, you have chosen that topic.

You must know at least

something about it.

Well, hopefully it will

not put more stress on us.

Seriously, what is the meaning

of autocratic forms of government?

Maybe something like monarchy?

Not necessarily.

Ferdi, do u have any

thoughts about this?

It's a car race in

craters. (Auto-Cracy)

Now that was really

very resourceful answer.

Dictatorship perhaps?

Among other things, yes. Karo?

I think the autocracy

is if an individual...

...or a group dominate the mass.

Exactly.

Autocracy derives from the Greek...

...and means self-rule.

Also, "Auto" from yourself and

"Kratia" from to dominate, Power.

In an autocracy an individual or a

group involved in the Government has...

...so much power that the laws

can change how they want it.

Do you have examples

of such systems?

We need to spend the

week doing something.

Oh, come on, you can think

of some form of dictatorship.

Third Reich.

Ah no, not again.

So, I did not choose

this topic for myself....

I've printed out a few

notice for you.

Not that sh*t all over again.

Oh man, but it's an important issue.

Nazi Germany was sh*t.

Slowly, even I understand that"

Exactly, damned Nazis!

- It happened here so it's not going to

happen anymore. - Oh yes, and the Neo-Nazis?

We can not permanently feel guilty

for something that we did not do.

It is not just the guilt...

...it is also a fact that we, with our

history have a certain responsibility.

So, I am a Turk!

Clear responsibility, yes, but

I mean everybody knows this.

Everyone who?
