Plots(1)
Courtroom drama meets political thriller worthy of John Grisham in this explosive, spellbinding story about a young lawyer who comes across one of the biggest judicial scandals in German history and a truth that nobody wants to face. Fabrizio Collini (legendary Italian actor Franco Nero) is recently retired. He’s a quiet, unassuming man with no indication that he’s capable of hurting anyone. And yet, he brutally murders a prominent industrialist in one of Berlin’s most exclusive hotels. Collini ends up in the charge of Caspar Leinen, a rookie defense lawyer eager to launch his career with a not-guilty verdict. Complications soon arise when Collini admits to the murder, but refuses to give his motive, much less speak to anyone. As Leinen searches for clues, he discovers a personal connection to the victim and unearths a terrible truth at the heart of Germany’s legal system that stretches back to the aftermath of Nazi Germany. But how much is he willing to sacrifice to expose the truth? (Miami Jewish Film Festival)
