Sinopsis: On the night of 13 July 2002, two teenage brothers Marco and Marcel Schönfeld, aided by their friend Sebastian Fink, brutally tortured and executed 16-year-old Marinus Schöberl. After carrying out extensive research into the case, Andres Veiel wrote an experimental stage play, which he turned into a film, set in an old industrial warehouse in Berlin. The roles of the different characters are played by only two actors. The changing light and camera positions seem to constantly change the set, which becomes the church where the funeral is held, a jail, a courtroom or a room where the witnesses and relatives are interviewed.
