Six strangers are sitting in a conference room. They’re in a focus group, but how much is there really to say about yoghurt? There’s so much more to discover about each other.

Andreas Hübner is an unfriendly official who interviews immigrants wishing to stay in Germany. One morning an Adolf Hitler moustache appears on his face.
