Comedy / Drama
Germany, 1957. The Hessian Chief Public Prosecutor Fritz Bauer receives vital clues about the whereabouts of SS Lieutenant Colonel Adolf Eichmann, who was responsible for the preparation and organisation of mass deportations and murders of European Jews. Allegedly, Eichmann is hiding in Buenos Aires. Fritz Bauer, a Jew and Social Democrat, who had made it his objective since returning from Danish exile to bring perpetrators of the Nazi regime before the courts, tries to arrange the trial of Adolf Eichmann in West Germany.
In his office, Bauer is virtually left on his own. Not only is he not supported by his colleagues, but they also continually scheme against his research. Increasingly, it becomes apparent that Fritz Bauer’s work is more than just a thorn in the side of influential circles.
