Young German-Korean prosecutor Seyo Kim is determined to bring far-right extremists to justice in Germany. When she survives a racist attack on her own life, she defies her superiors and takes the perpetrators to court herself, uncovering a right-wing network with ties deep into the institutions meant to stop it. Director Faraz Shariat's second feature is grounded in years of meticulous research into Germany's legal system and its handling of far-right violence, a subject that feels urgent at the moment. With a commanding debut performance by Chen Emilie Yan in the lead role, the film premiered in the Panorama section of the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival, taking home three prizes.
