Plot
The young prosecutor Johann Radmann, played by Alexander Fehling, finds some documents that allow him to launch legal proceedings against some members of the SS who served at Auschwitz. But the horrors of the past and hostility towards his own work is carried close him to collapse, because it is almost impossible to break through a maze in which everyone seems to be involved or be guilty. Drama about the conspiracy of German institutions and different branches of government to cover up the crimes of the Nazis during World War II. The prosecutor Johann must decide between what he says and what the mind perceives, to reveal what is really and the truth about the murders at a time when silence can be the worst weapon.
