Panic grips the dignitaries of a one-horse town in the Eifel, when the body of a Wehrmacht soldier is discovered during the construction of a fairground carousel: they all know who the young man was, and why he died... A picture of collective failure in Nazi Germany and collective denial in the Federal Republic. Exceptions confirm the rule. (Locarno Festival)
