Streets of Berlin: A few words after Midnight
The Berlin building contractor Klaus Keller is found shot on his 90th birthday. A sign hangs around his neck with the words I was too cowardly to fight for Germany. Keller's biggest project at the time was the construction of a documentation centre about the Shoa in Israel. A right-wing extremist assassination attempt?
The evidence seems clear. But there is another lead. A youth photo of crime victim Klaus and his brother Gert has disappeared from the dead man's flat. Does the murder have anything to do with the two brothers? One is an economic miracle child and winner of the reunification - the other a Stasimajor, SED functionary and loser of the reunification. Two post-war paths that diverged with the division of Germany and could not be reunited even after '89.
Nina Rubin and Robert Karow ask why and dive into a complex family history, in which the generation of the sons also plays an important role.
