Im Vorhof der Wahrheit

Synopsis

At nine, Miroslav flees the Eastern Front alone after his mother’s disappearance. In postwar Germany, the Czech boy drifts between zones, lands in reform schools and prisons, and suffers a crippling accident. Rejected by society and facing deportation, he joins Berlin’s underworld, is arrested for murder, and confronts whether society or he is to blame.
