Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
DEFA Film Studios offers an East German response to the classic suspense films of Alfred Hitchcock, Fritz Lang, and Carol Reed with this tightly wound tale of a bold robbery, and the eyewitness who refuses to finger the culprit. A train station inspector has witnessed a daring robbery. Despite getting a clear view of the perpetrator's face, however, he refuses to turn the man in. When the thief convinces his partner to go after the inspector's daughter, a shocking series of events threaten to make public some of the darkest secrets of the Nazi era.
