Synopsis
A 74-year-old man is brought before a regional court in Dresden. The former high-up SS official is brought back to the scene of his crimes after more than 40 years. The trial provides the framework for this film, in which an understanding of this SS-man's social development reveals the origins and mechanisms of National Socialism.
