On the basis of statements from friends, acquaintances and colleagues, the biographies of the Deutsche Bank board spokesman Alfred Herrhausen, who was murdered by the Red Army Faction , and the RAF terrorist Wolfgang Grams are traced. The filmmaker seemed to be well aware that Wolfgang Grams could not prove his involvement in the assassination attempt on Alfred Herrhausen. The biographies are juxtaposed and parallelized in the film as examples of different political actions.
