Based on a true story, Extreme Number blends real and fiction to tell the story of a young refugee from Chechnya who comes to Germany in 2004 and is immediately thrown into prison in Berlin. He enlists the help of a translator to escape and then joins a terrorist group in Berlin that gives him a very special order. Authentic war documentation is embedded in the film as flashbacks – this is real coverage of war, shot by a Chechen rebel from 1996-2000 in Chechnya.
