A woman dives into hell after the death of her husband and son in a bomb attack, and rises in a purgatory, seeking the punishment of the two neo-Nazis that are behind this crime. This painful journey that is only fueled by mourning and outrage becomes, through the lens of Fatih Akin, a clear, radical political comment that aspires to dissolve the clouds of our times.
