- Summary:
- Germany, 1957. Attorney General Fritz Bauer receives crucial evidence on the whereabouts of SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann. The lieutenant colonel, responsible for the mass deportation of the Jews, is allegedly hiding in Buenos Aires. Bauer, himself Jewish, has been trying to take crimes from the Third Reich to court ever since his return from Danish exile. However, with no success so far due to the fierce German determination to repress its sinister past. Because of his distrust in the German justice system, Fritz Bauer contacts the Israeli secret service Mossad, and, by doing so, commits treason. Bauer is not seeking revenge for the Holocaust -- he is concerned with the German future. Audience Award winner and nominated for the Variety Piazza Grande Award at the **Locarno International Film Festival**. Winner of Best Direction, Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, Outstanding Feature Film, and Best Screenplay at the **German Film Awards**. *"It's a compelling portrait both of Bauer and of a fraught moment in German history." - Kerry Lengel, **Arizona Republic***
