    satirical political Documentary no sexuality included at all
    The Movie is a experiment of getting German view on Germany like Germany can be seen from foreign people.

    Its an experiment like " How what aliens from outer space see us humans" but a little closer to reality: Its how would people outside the German culture could understand the German way of live. Dennis, the US TV-reporter (a camouflaged intelligence service man) is a German stereotype of US-American people. This stereotype is used to show the German audience the crazy and obscure German allday life from a distance.

    A good interesting somehow different documentary with a 68ter political few on the German society. A kind of European style "Micheal Moore documentary".

    PS: The R rating must be a mistake . there is no sexuality involved in this movie unless you refer eating "Bratwurst" as sexuality ;-)
