action

The Prussian state has to justify itself to history in the form of a court hearing with prosecutor, defense attorney and judge. Pictures, scenes from television productions and poetic texts serve as “evidence”. The negotiation makes the dialectical external view of the historical state clear even in the present. At the end, both sides make the plea. With the beginning of the verdict, which remains open, the television series ends.
