During the shooting of the film Leben auf 1 qm  (2005) about the maximum security prison Rahovan in Bucharest , Schwartz met Gavriel Hrieb , who had been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of a public prosecutor, and accompanied him after his pardon after 21 years imprisonment in 2012 For years.

At first Hieb is full of hope for a new life, but it is difficult for him to find his role in society. Romania, which is now part of the European Union , has changed. He cannot find work or a home where he likes it. His mother is overwhelmed and the old conflicts weigh on him.

Schwartz finally suspects that Hieb was not telling him the full truth and requests access to the murder files.

criticism

The film service ruled that the “ambiguity of the recordings” made the film “far more than a classic documentary”. Under the “surface of a re-socialization story” hides a “mutual relationship between the filmmaker and his protagonist, which leads to the limits of the genre”.
