It's a significant day for the revolutionaries, who are performing the official establishment of the Reich in an old castle. A small group of sovereignists plans to finally overthrow the German government through violence. Under the codename "Hans," the leader (Bibiana Beglau) pushes her co-conspirators through the final preparations.
