The star reporter for a news magazine is on the trail of an exposé about the deployment of the German Armed Forces in Afghanistan. As his intern investigates a bizarre accidental death at a zoo, the two suspect a scandal involving a toxic waste disposal site. But the powerful chemical lobby lures them to follow a false lead. Christoph Hochhäusler’s modern urban thriller, inspired by classical film noir, tells of the dark intertwining of politics, industry, and the media.
