plot synopsis:
Documentation on a group of German youths between 15 and 19 years old who spent most their time playing computer war games - everyone for himself, at home alone only connected via internet, organized in "clans" together with others. They preferably fight against other "clans". In these games some are the terrorits, the others are the "counter-terrorists", and therefore the "good" cops. But the boys coundln`t care less what group they belong to since the only things the are interested in is "to play", they insist.

remarks:
The film portrays young people, who play Counterstrike and sets out with their fascination for computer-war games. Because of the Amokdrama of Erfuhrt wins the film,which shooting began in January 2002, a unintentional explosive force. Now panicfull questions are asked, why Robert Steinhäuser did that Amokdrama. It is also discussed about a relationship between real violence and war-games again.
