In Hanau, Germany, 2020, a racist attack tragically claimed nine young lives in minutes, simply because the perpetrator didn't see them as German. This documentary intimately examines the aftermath through the eyes of survivors and grieving families. Over four years, the director chronicles their profound grief, unwavering resilience, and tireless pursuit of justice in their own country. As they strive to uncover the truth, they encounter cold bureaucracy and systemic failures. The film reveals the enduring impact of rightwing terror, illustrating how families must reconstruct their pasts while fighting for recognition and a sense of belonging.
