Carolin and Moritz Seitz were once known as a successful couple of actors. But today she is considered the wife of a murderer: Four years ago, Moritz Seitz was convicted of killing the former theater star Thore Bärwald after an excessive New Year's Eve party. Now Ole Stark turns himself in to the police. He is also an actor and claims to be the real killer. The public prosecutor's office cannot initiate new investigations, but they give the Cologne inspectors Ballauf and Schenk a week to find out what is true of the story that is being served up to them.

Good movie but grossly overrated
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
