Old-school police detective Pierre Niemans and his former student Camille Delaunay tackle complex, brutal murder cases.

After German reunification, the neo-Nazi National Socialist Underground begins a killing spree while cops fight an uphill battle to catch them.

This documentary focuses on the development of right-wing extremism, especially in Germany, since the time around the founding of the NPD in 1964. The film reports with known examples of right-wing extremist activities are contrasted with the reactions from official state policy, the judiciary and the majority society, and these reactions are critically questioned in their partially unintentional favoring of the right-wing scene.
