About Das Staatsgeheimnis
Lars Schelling runs a sushi bar in Berlin that was financed by the mafia. They now want their money back. Then suddenly his mother dies, and the next day he almost falls into the hands of kidnappers. Why? There's a lot of money involved that the Stasi put aside after the fall of communism to bribe politicians. And Lars possesses - without suspecting it - the code word for the Swiss bank...
Directed by Matthias Glasner, Das Staatsgeheimnis leans on a strong ensemble — Benno Fürmann, Nele Mueller-Stöfen, Otto Mellies — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2001.
