Die Kolonie

DDR 1980/1981 Spielfilm


South America at the beginning of the 1980s. A man is on the run from a group of armed pursuers. He does not manage to escape and is shot down mercilessly. Young Maria witnesses the cruel event and asks her friend, the journalist Oswaldo, to find out about the backgrounds of this case. The police also start to investigate the case and find out that a mysterious German farm is involved in the shooting. But the farm lies in an exterritorial area, thus the police officers cannot investigate any further. Oswaldo receives death threats but continues to investigate- He finds out that the farm is administered by fascists. On the farm, old Nazis who have fled from Germany indoctrinate young Germans. But before Oswaldo can publicise the results of his investigations, he also falls victim to the fascists and is murdered.
