Caspar Leinen (Elyas M’Barek), um jovem e inexperiente advogado, é posto à prova quando é apontado pelo tribunal como advogado de defesa de Frabrizio Collini (Franco Nero), um cidadão exemplar italiano de 70 anos que durante mais de 30 anos trabalhou na Alemanha e que, sem motivo aparente, mata Hans Meyer (Manfred Zapatka), um respeitado empresário, na sua suite de hotel em Berlim. O interesse público no caso é grande, mas Collini mantém o silêncio sobre o motivo que o levou a assassinar um homem exemplar como Meyer. Enquanto Casper se afunda cada vez mais num caso incompreensível, é confrontado não só com o seu próprio passado como também com o maior escândalo judicial na história da Alemanha e com a verdade que ninguém quer ouvir. Inspirado no bestseller de Ferdinand Von Schirach. (Films4you)

For me personally, it is already a great surprise that comedian Elyas M'Barek has taken on a serious role. He handled it brilliantly and even chose a film where Germans once again open wounds, poke a bit with needles from knitting in them, and then patch them up hoping that someone from the surroundings will blow it away. I really like these films from Germans. They have no problem returning to the past of the world wars and pointing out what they did wrong. And here they did more wrong than enough. In addition to Elyas, Franco Nero also deserves attention. He doesn't say much, but what he says, his gallantry elevates to the absolute. Very solid court drama!

Fans of courtroom dramas can't complain. Germany surprised and Elyas M'Barek, a comedy actor, handled the serious role with ease. The film has a great theme, with a newly graduated lawyer getting his first case where he has to defend a murderer who killed his former lover's grandfather, and on top of that, he's up against a hostile and well-respected opponent. Great courtroom verbal shootouts, decent twists and turns, great actors and the biggest legal scandal in German history ever. What more could you ask for? 8/10.
