The successful Jewish director Cornfield returns to Germany from the USA in the 1980s. 45 years ago, he was one of 13 Jewish extras in an anti-Semitic propaganda film. In return, he and his friends were promised freedom. However, the promise was never kept and, out of fear, the young Cornfield made a mistake that would haunt him for the rest of his life: he betrayed a friend and thus made himself complicit in his death. Plagued by his guilty conscience, Cornfield wants to make a documentary film about the circumstances surrounding the events of that time in order to atone for his guilt.
