This part-documentary, part-dramatization was directed by eleven different makers and written by thirteen people, including Nobel laureate Heinrich Böll. It portrays the forty-four days in the autumn of 1977 between the kidnapping of industrialist Hanns-Martin Schleyer and the suicides of Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe. The film evokes the psychological and emotional effects of that tumultuous time and serves as a record of the era.
