Germany, 1958: nobody wants to look back to the time of the Nazi regime, so when young prosecuting attorney Johann Radmann comes across sensitive documents that would bring members of the SS who served in Auschwitz to trial, he is told to bury the past. However, against the will of his superiors, he begins to examine the case and lands in a web of repression and denial. He is sucked deeper and deeper into a labyrinth of lies and guilt in his search for the truth, but what he ultimately brings to light will change the country forever. (Madman Entertainment)

I am very surprised. Little did I know that the Germans decided to clean their rug of shame so many years after the war. And on top of that everybody threw pitchforks at them and acted as if there were no wars and Germany didn’t play a role in any of them. For me personally, this was a huge shock and I am very surprised that anybody actually tried to film this. And that must be appreciated and praised several times. I actually don’t have a problem with the actor Alexander Fehling, who was in the main role of the investigator, but rather with the ending itself, which dealt with everything at once and very quickly. A bit too quickly, if you ask me. However, as for the first film of the Německá filmová pavlač festival that we saw with my friend Enšpígl, we must say that it was a really strong German experience which proves the level German cinematography is at today!
