Berlin video store owner Micha Hartung is on the verge of bankruptcy when he unexpectedly becomes a hero overnight: On the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, an ambitious journalist from a news magazine suddenly portrays him as the mastermind behind the largest mass exodus from East Germany. As a reluctant con man, Micha is thrust into the limelight—and even meets the woman of his dreams, Paula. He never would have imagined that a successful, intelligent, and witty woman like her could be interested in a simple man like him. But the budding romance, like the rest of his life, threatens to be swallowed up in a chaos of lies and fake news.
