- Die IdeeE1
Die IdeeA unique experiment is starting: 122 people in Germany will receive 1,200 euros a month for three years - unconditionally. What will they do with this new financial freedom? While five lucky winners start their future under strict scientific observation, project manager Janine Busch and initiator Michael Bohmeyer from the association MEIN GRUNDEINKOMMEN are delighted with the overwhelming media response. - Die UtopieE2
Die UtopieBig dreams meet reality: while the winners test their expanded financial scope, the young project team has to organize itself in Turbo. The pressure to succeed is high. What if the expectations are not met? The initial feedback from the researchers dampens the euphoria - but the experiment continues. - Die HoffnungE3
Die HoffnungIs the project faltering before it has really started? Some of the winners face unexpected personal challenges. Elsewhere, the activists suddenly achieve a decisive breakthrough: the basic income could be affordable. But is this realization enough to find enough supporters for redistribution? - Die EnttäuschungE4
Die EnttäuschungThe country is groaning under war and crises, social support is dwindling. On top of this, the researchers present sobering findings as an interim conclusion. The setbacks weigh heavily on the project team, and the initiator is also brooding. But for some of the winners, the cash injection is now proving to be a real blessing. And a trend in the studies could change everything - will it provide a new impetus? - Die RealitätE5
Die RealitätWhat makes me happy? And how do I want to live? The winners seek answers and make surprising decisions. And while a renowned researcher expresses doubts about the financial viability of the basic income, another discussion in Oxford provides new insights: What role does the unconditional basic income play in the future of work when AI forces professional reorientation? - Die BilanzE6
Die BilanzThe last installments are paid out and the experiment enters its finale. Which dreams will come true? What will the researchers conclude? Will there be champagne or seltzer? As the tension mounts, initiator Michael Bohmeyer makes a very personal decision. What can the unconditional basic income do - and what perhaps not? A utopia in a reality check.
