2018: How to save the SPD, Germany's oldest party, from complete irrelevance? He thinks he knows: Kevin Kühnert, 29 years young, chairman of the Young Socialists. He is convinced that the SPD must move to the left. First episode of the six-part documentary series.

The European elections in May 2019 are supposed to be a turnaround for the SPD's poor poll ratings. Kevin Kühnert is on the campaign trail, touring from local association to local association, from talk show to interview. On May 1, barely three weeks before the European elections, the weekly newspaper Die ZEIT published an interview with him: "What does socialism mean to you, Mr. Kühnert?" The interview triggers a shitstorm. Episode 2 of the six-part documentary series.

After the SPD's disastrous performance in the European elections, Andrea Nahles resigns as party leader. There was a crisis at Willy Brandt House, the SPD's headquarters. A few days later, Kühnert's face appears on the cover of "Der Spiegel": "Is Kevin coming now?" the magazine asks. It could be his chance to lead the SPD to the left. Episode 3 of the six-part documentary series.

Kevin Kühnert does not trust himself to run for party chair. While he works on a plan B in the background, he cancels his candidacy and causes a lot of disappointment at the base and in the media, which had been looking forward to a "Kühnert vs. Scholz" spectacle. Nevertheless, he wants to expand his influence in the party. Kühnert and the Jusos are sending a duo into the race against Scholz that surprises many.

At the SPD's national party conference, the influence of Kevin Kühnert and his Young Socialists has become clear. Together with the left wing of the party, they push through the phasing out of Hartz IV, a milestone for which Kühnert had worked for a long time. He is also elected deputy party chairman. He has brought his duo to the top of the SPD, finally has his own office, is no longer just the Juso leader, but has arrived at the party's power center. And then comes the corona pandemic.

When Kevin Kühnert announces his intention to run for the Bundestag, the SPD is at 14 percent - 24 percentage points behind the CDU/CSU. The SPD is not only the first party to present its candidate for chancellor, but also the first to present an election program: 12 euros minimum wage, wealth tax, the possibility of limiting rent increases - Kevin Kühnert, the Jusos and party leftists are satisfied.
