A cold, intellectually demanding true-crime documentary that treats a Cold War assassination as an unsolved historical puzzle resistant to easy answers.

In April 1991, Detlev Rohwedder, the head of Treuhand, the East German Privatization and Restructuring Agency, was assassinated in Dusseldorf. This documentary details the strange evidence recovered.
