TV-movie based on the trial of Memmingen gynecologist Dr. Horst Theissen, who was sentenced for illegal abortions.

An ordinary New Year's Eve at Cologne Cathedral becomes a turning point in recent German history. Told from the perspectives of the victims, the police officers, and the perpetrators, the story reveals how Cologne Cathedral became a chaotic crime scene.

The film documents the life and political career of Angela Merkel. It shows archive images and interviews with contemporaries, including Franz Müntefering, Edmund Stoiber and Norbert Blüm, as well as an exclusive interview with Angela Merkel.

At the same time, refugees in Germany are increasingly experiencing xenophobia. But there are still people who remain unimpressed in their humanism despite these events - that gives hope.
