Bright shines the sun on the main square of Montecatini, a lovely place on the hills of Tuscany. A gramophone filled the square with music, 20 Italian civilians need to line up, German soldiers set up and shoot the Italians. For every dead German, ten Italian, selected at random. The command issued to a dashing young German SS-ObersturmbannfĂĽhrer.

He spared the life of a child, but he forces the desperate cry of young, view the shooting of his own father with a original pain that attacks the viewer deep and up to the Mark, even if this sits in the here and now in a comfortable cinema chair.

The fall Collini”, the film adaptation of the bestseller by Ferdinand von Schirach will be Shown”. It’s about the young lawyer Caspar Leinen, played by Elyas M’barek, whose first case as a public defender, a spectacular murder case. As a linen hear the name of the victim for the first Time, he thinks nothing of it; then, when he clearly is, and whose murderers he defended there, it’s already too late, he is obliged to.

The Dead man’s Hans Meyer, a wealthy Industrialist, who was for Caspar as a father and he owes almost everything. With his granddaughter, Johanna, he was a youth in love, and when Johanna learns that her old friend Caspar defended the murderer of her grandfather, she is horrified and wants to dissuade him. Caspar wants to get rid of the case, for her sake, but his old Professor Matt Inger makes it clear to him that he can’t allow that as a defender of such feelings: “do you Believe that personal sensibilities have something to look for in the courtroom?” As Matt Inger has no way of knowing what his former students.

Only The murderer, Fabrizio Collini, is silent.

There are many issues to be negotiated here, everything is interwoven, the process of national-socialism, our way of dealing with that until today, the lawyers infamous driver-para-Graf, friendship, duty, but also the Trauma of father-lessness. The phrase “My father fucked off when I was two” is the grimly silent Collini is thawing, because he is the Boy whose father was shot before his eyes, and whose whole life since then to the Moment of revenge supply. And a cloth father is still alive.

The driver-para-Graf was in 1968 in “EGOWiG”

The screwdriver-clause was hidden in 1968 in the nondescript “the introductory law of the administrative offences law”, short-EGOWiG, hidden.

“Was it fair?”, asks the linen of his Prof in the courtroom, with regards to the driver-para-count, saved a lot of Nazis in front of law enforcement. “It was right,” says Matt Inger, convincingly played by Heiner Lauterbach with a wig. Generally, the Film is filled up in small roles in very well, down to the Detail, and also maybe a little too nice M’barek brings it over – he will probably draw the masses to the cinema. Good.

He didn’t know about the screwdriver-law, nothing says Marco Kreuzpaintner afterwards in the discussion, and, although he was a politically interested person. Kreuzpaintner has to leave the courtroom to replicate the underground passage, through the at the criminal court Moabit, the defendant from custody will be guided directly in the glass cage in the security room. Berlin lawyers will recognize the distinctive tiles of the corridors in Moabit; the exterior view of the court of appeal. Under the colossus in Moabit, a Labyrinth of corridors.
