The Eavesdropping Storm is the first feature film directed by Donnersmarck. The film tells the story of an agent of the National Security Bureau of East Germany from being loyal to his duties to losing enthusiasm for his work, and then changing his position and starting to protect the East German writer Jeffrey Mann who was asked by his superiors to engage in espionage.
The story took place at 1984 in Berlin, East Germany. The whole East German people are controlled by 100,000 stasi secret police and 200,000 informers. Their purpose is to know every detail of other people's lives.
Among these most dedicated Stasi officials, one is Captain Gad Wisler of Wizler. He is a teacher at the Potsdam Secret Police School. He can sniff out dissidents thousands of miles away, and he has no personal life except work.
