Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This TV movie rode the wave of post-2006 German energy privatization fears, hitting screens right as Berlin's actual grid reliability became a political football.
The 4.0 TMDB rating from just 9 votes suggests this was largely forgotten even by German audiences—possibly because it aired on Sat.1, the network where thrillers go to quietly disappear.
