On the night of February 9, 2020, a racist attacker shot and killed nine young people in Hanau, leaving behind mourning families and survivors who fight not just for their lost loved ones but also for truth and justice. Director Marcin Wierzchowski accompanies them for four years as they take an untiring stand to ensure the attack is not forgotten – and poses the pressing question once again: Who belongs to Germany and who doesn’t?
