Overview

  • The film, a follow-up to the 2004 cult satire 'Muxmäuschenstill,' premiered nationwide on May 1, 2025, with director Jan Henrik Stahlberg reprising his role as Mux.
  • Set in modern-day Germany, Mux emerges from a 20-year coma to lead a Robin-Hood-style campaign against neoliberalism and wealth inequality.
  • Central to the plot is Mux’s ‘solidarity-job’ scheme, which proposes redistributing work and wealth by employing the unemployed and targeting the wealthy elite.
  • The mockumentary-style film employs handheld, low-light footage to blur the lines between fiction and realism, reflecting its satirical edge.
  • Stahlberg is touring rural Germany with free screenings of the film, engaging audiences in discussions on democracy and economic justice.
