Deckname Dennis

Deutschland 1996/1997 Dokumentarfilm mit Spielhandlung

Summary

Codename Dennis

The job description for a secret agent has changed. Gone are the days when you had to abseil down a skyscraper, crawl through sewers or blow way Russian agents to obtain important information. The age of massmedia no longer knows any secrets. All information is public. It is a question of collating and categorizing it. The agent of today is a journalist. He must be able to keep his ears and eyes open. Researchers and fanatics, displaced people and madmen, do-it-yourselfers and authorities, right- and left-wingers - they say everything when the camera starts filming. You just have to ask cheeky enough questions. And no-one is as naive with their questions as Dennis. He is the best man for this delicate job. His boss has sent him disguised as a TV journalist of the American channel DDC on an absurd journey to a remarkable country. To a country where the last war was just 50 years ago. To Germany. A job that brings him to the verge of despair. A realistic satire about the the deformed German self-confidence - grotesque and vicious.
