Documentary satire about a project by Christoph Schlingensief: Ten years after his TV project "Talk 2000", Schlingensief started to work on a new talk show – at least that was what he claimed. But in reality, it was obvious that the pilot episodes he produced would never be broadcasted. Nevertheless, all celebrities from the political and cultural sphere, Schlingensief had requested, accepted his invitation, including the filmmaker Oskar Roehler, the televangelist Jürgen Fliege, the politician Claudia Roth, or the rapper Sido. It is beyond question, that the talk show panel took an unconventional course directly from the start – and was soon threatening to turn into an uproar.
독일의 유대인 학살에 침묵한 ‘교황청’ 위선에 가득찬 기득권을 고발한 두 남자. 나치제도 그리고 바티칸과 연합군들의 외교. 이 두 가지 시스템 안에서 투쟁하는 두 남자가 있다. 컬츠 게르스타인은 유태인 집단 처형장의 책임자이지만 그는 가족의 목숨을 걸고 이런 학살을 연합군과 교황 그리고 독일 시민에게 알려주려 애를 쓴다. 그리고 사제 리카르도는 자기 목숨을 걸고 나치제도에 반항한 모든 교회인을 대표한다. 이 영화에서는 알면서도 모르는 척 하던 교황청을 비롯한 모든 권력의 중심부에서 자신의 안위만을 염려하던 기득권 세력들의 위선과 허식 감추어진 양심을 지닌 사람들의 냉담함을 재판한다.
Lydia Kowalenko is fired from the pharmaceutical company where she has worked for many years because she refused to help cover up the use of a dangerous chemical. Her daughter Katja, however, has no scruples and risks an operation which is more beneficial to her own medical research than to the convalescence of a young patient. Then Katja's only son dies after a car accident. Was he too the victim of a career-minded doctor?
In May of 1983, a man turns 49 and, with his 17-year old son, journeys to the village in Baden that he left 40 years before. He wants to discover what happened then, the truth about an affair his mother had with a young Polish prisoner of war, how the authorities came to learn of it, the lovers' arrest, and the aftermath. While his son takes Polaroid photographs, he retraces the steps of his childhood and interviews those who should remember. The story is disclosed in flashbacks that focus on the lovers (Paulina and Stanislaus), on a jealous and conniving neighbor, and on Mayer, the local SS commander who wants to find a way out of inevitable consequences.
