Germany 2021, directed by Franziska Stünkel

It was one of the GDR's best-kept secrets: the existence of the death penalty. The plot is inspired by the life of Werner Teske, who, as a state security captain, was executed for serious treason in 1981 as the last victim of the death penalty in the GDR.


The disturbing story does not focus on assigning blame, but rather shows the journey of a man who is both a perpetrator and a victim and who is physically and psychologically broken as a result. Actor Lars Eidinger in a captivating performance.
