Arne Wolf, a bioweapons expert at the German Federal Intelligence Service, believes that despite strict control by the United Nations, Iraq is still producing anthrax as a weapon. People around him had largely moved on from this topic, but circumstances suddenly changed when an Iraqi asylum seeker claimed he had participated in the production of Saddam Hussein's bioweapons. His testimony perfectly aligned with the interests of various authorities, and both the U.S. federal government and the CIA sought to take action based on this opportunity. Wolf was appointed by the federal intelligence service as the case leader to investigate whether the claims of the informant, codenamed “Curveball,” were true. Meanwhile, the 9/11 attacks pushed the United States to the brink of crisis, putting global security in jeopardy... This film is a political satire, adapted from real events occurring before the Iraq War in 2003, and had its world premiere at the special screening section of the 70th Berlin International Film Festival.
