International premiere in Lille: A financial visionary between the Cold War and the RAF. 1986: Alfred Herrhausen, CEO of Deutsche Bank, wants to make his bank international. He offends many with his demand for debt relief for Third World countries. The secret services take notice. At the same time, the USSR is almost bankrupt after Chernobyl. Gorbachev needs fresh money and Helmut Kohl's goal is German reunification. Herrhausen signs a loan agreement worth eight billion marks with the Soviet Union on behalf of the FRG - and thus his own death sentence.
