THE EDUKATORS
SYNOPSIS
Jule is a waitress who can't make ends meet. She
moves in with her boyfriend Peter and his friend Jan,
two young men united by their passion to change the
world. But Jule has a secret: an auto accident in the
past has burdened her with lifetime payments to a
successful businessman named Hardenberg. Peter
and Jan also have a secret: they are the notorious
"Edukators," mysterious perpetrators who break
into the expensive homes of local yacht club
members as an act of political rebellion. They wreak
havoc and leave notes that read, "Your days of plenty
are numbered."
While Peter is away on holiday, secrets between Jan
and Jule are disclosed and feelings between them
intensify. They impulsively break into the home of the
businessman to whom Jule is indebted. But their
growing passion has made them careless and when
they're forced to return to the villa the following night
to retrieve a forgotten cell phone, Hardenberg
surprises them.
They have no choice but to call Peter for help, even if
it means his finding out about their betrayal.
