For Hans Frambach, its the crimes of the Nazi era, which have hurt him for as long as he can remember. Thats why he became an archivist at the Bureau of Past Management; now, though, hes wondering if he should make a change. For his best friend, Graziela, that past was also her focal point - until she met a man who desired her. From then on, sexual pleasure became the key to her life; a concept shes now beginning to doubt. Hans and Graziela thought the Nazi crimes were the inheritance that neither could bear, but can we really blame Nazism for everything?Iris Hanika shows how the crimes of the Nazi era hold the Germans in their clutches to this day.
