About the event: In the backdrop of 1931 Germany, lawyer Dr Justus Wehner has been assigned his first case: the defence of the serial killer Peter Kurten, known to the public as the Dusseldorf Ripper.
Dr Wehner, of course, isn’t required to prove the innocence of the accused but to insist on his mental instability and, to do so, he needs to get to know his client in depth. But during a series of face-to-face interviews, the inexperienced advocate will start questioning his own judgment and the fairness of society in attributing penalties.
