Summary

An Angolan contract worker who works in a small town in the former GDR is killed on a Friday evening in 1990 after a manhunt by a group of young Germans. Only when the victim’s girlfriend manages to flee to West Berlin a few months later does the atrocity become public. And not before does the judicial pre-trial investigation really get underway. AMADEU, AMADEU! is a reconstruction of that Friday evening, but also of what preceded the confrontation. With testimonials from relatives, two perpetrators, a police officer present, an involved café owner. Most of the perpetrators have now been convicted, but are still walking free.
