Spoilers ahead

Three stories unfold across a single day in Berlin, each tracing a different path into the May Day chaos: Uwe, Benjamin Höppner the provincial police officer, is deployed to the city to help crowd-control the demonstrations, but his private life is strained by a betrayal at home. He wades into the street action and ends up in the line of fire when a water cannon hits the crowd and leaves him with a broken nose.

Jacob, Jacob Matschenz and Pelle, Ludwig Trepte — two middle-class youths from Minden — travel to Berlin hoping for something dramatic; they oscillate between being curious tourists and potential rioters. Their attempt to score drugs proves more difficult than expected, turning their excursion into a test of nerve and judgment.
