A young Jewish businessman Victor has to witness how the prosecution of a Nazi crime against his family fails. The political and legal system is still virtually run by former Nazis with large parts of society being entangled in the past. When Victor also loses his grief-ridden father and his girlfriend’s family opposes their relationship, Victor begins to lose faith in formal justice and takes matters in his own hands.
