Das Verhör in der Nacht

Directed by Matti Geschonneck

With Sophie von Kessel, Charly Hübner and Michèle Fichtner

Philosophy professor Judith is on her way to her parents' house to celebrate Christmas with them. But nothing comes of it, because as she leaves her hotel she is intercepted by a state security officer. A grueling interrogation begins. Thomas knows a lot about Judith's life, her recent past, her relationships and her political views. Apparently the professor has been spied on for some time. Thomas confronts her with the suspicion that she was planning a bomb attack.
