SCHÄCHTEN_PTI Trailer from Picture Tree International on Vimeo.

The film is set in Vienna in the 1960s, and deals with themes of law, justice and revenge. The young Jewish business man Victor has to witness how the prosecution of a Nazi crime against his family fails. The political and legal system is still virtually run by former Nazis with large parts of society being entangled in the past. Victor begins to lose faith in formal justice and takes matters in his own hands.
