Jetzt und in der Stunde meines Todes
Now and in the Hour of My Death
Ella Conradi, a dedicated journalist from Germany, is in Jerusalem to report about the trial against the Nazi criminal Eichmann. Disgusted by the monstrosities that are revealed, she eventually returns to Germany. There, she wants to cover common cases and trials again. Her first assignment is a murder trial against a man called Ralf Jordan who constantly maintains his innocence. Conradi, who believes Jordan and wants to help him, starts to investigate the case – and thus opens up a political can of worms. The backgrounds of the case reach back to the Nazi period and involve officials of the Third Reich, who in the meantime have returned to their powerful positions. Furthermore, Jordan is not that innocent as he pretends to be. When the affected people realize that Ella′s revelations are threatening their careers, they try to intimidate the journalist – but to no avail. In the end, Ella pays for her integrity with her life.
