after George Orwell
Big Brother sees everything. Every step, every word, every thought is controlled by the party. Denunciation is the foundation of power, mutual control is the key to rule.
Winston Smith, an inconspicuous employee in the ministry, is resigned and lonely. He begins to write a diary. But who are his lines aimed at? Will there be a future? Winston searches for the truth in a world that sells lies as reality. His longing for freedom, for a different life, encounters the brutality of a system that punishes every deviation.
The prisoner ensemble of the Plötzensee prison enters the theatrical space of a surveillance state in which every step is the last, every decision can lead to catastrophe. In the loneliness of a paranoid worldview, it is everyone against everyone.
