The film tells the story of the racist attack in the Hessian city of Hanau in 2020 from the perspective of the bereaved and survivors. Within a few minutes, the perpetrator shot nine young people because he didn’t think they were German. What are the direct and long-term consequences of such an attack on the people and their city? Director Marcin Wierzchowski accompanied the protagonists for four years as they dealt with their grief and came to terms with the loss of a loved one. But he also shows their struggle for recognition and belonging to the country they call home. The relatives feel abandoned by the authorities and politicians because, despite many words of sympathy, it is they themselves who have to uncover the circumstances of the crime. In doing so, they come up against the cold bureaucracy of a system that is not prepared for such a crime – even though right-wing terror is part of the sad normality of German history.
