Sheeple is about a family that is put to the test when the worries, fears, and especially the worldviews of the two parents suddenly no longer fit together.

Lars’ idyllic family life is on the verge of shattering. Melanie is worried because their son is supposed to wear a mask at school. And so she keeps Janosch home from school. Lars’ world turns upside…

The solution to overcoming Melanie’s worries and sending Janosch back to school seems within reach. The ‘True Mask’ is a mask that is supposed to be safe for children’s lungs.

Melanie has been preoccupied with conspiracy theories for some time now. Rüdiger Borst’s videos in particular have made quite an impression on her.

Lars tracks down YouTuber Rüdiger Borst, who gives him a lead on the source of the so-called Black Rock Satellite theory.

Lars gets vaccinated behind Melanie’s back. Their relationship reaches a new low, and Melanie moves out. Lars and his friend Dirk investigate the Black Rock Satellite.

Lars is astonished when he finds the young creator of the successful video. Duncan, an artist, tells him the incredible true story behind it. Janosch has an idea that gives Lars hope for the future!
