Screening of the first episode followed by a conversation with actor Richard Sammel, co-creator Laurent Mercier, and lecturer Marie-Odile Diemer.

In Rheinstadt, Germany, scientist Petra and mayor Amir are driving an ambitious rehabilitation programme, which aims to close the local prison.

Will this be a fresh start for the society, or will it lead to anarchy?
