History, power, and manipulation on the screen
The plot leads to the time of the Nuremberg Trials and tells of a process that still serves as a precedent for the prosecution of war crimes. The focus is not only on the legal processing but also on the psychological closeness between perpetrator and observer. This is where the film derives its tension: from conversations, glances, and an atmosphere where every word carries weight.

Cinema experience in the 1950s film palace

Anyone watching a historical film here experiences not only the content but also the fitting framework and atmosphere.
