[ DVD Region 4]. Respected author and family-man Ludger, is excited to finally get a hold of his Stasi file. As his family and a Stasi archivist gather round, amongst the papers is found a love letter which was not written by his wife, Corinna. So Ludger's memories are triggered back to the early 80's when he was actually working for the Stasi. He is part of a cell that is put together to infiltrate the counter-culture area of East Berlin and to spy on the so-called "neg-decs" (negative decadents). But in inveigling himself into this world, he finds himself falling in love, and falling into writing poetry. Meanwhile, the rest of his team spend their time trying and failing, to look inconspicuous as they trail him around the bars and poetry readings. .
