L'incroyable histoire de Bruno Lüdke (1908-44), le présumé pire meurtrier de masse de l'histoire criminelle allemande ; ou en fait, une histoire de dossiers falsifiés et de fausses nouvelles qui se déroule pendant les années les plus sombres du Troisième Reich, lorsque les principes de la justice pénale, soumis au joug d'un système totalitaire qui commence à s'effondrer, ne veulent absolument rien dire..
