Im nächsten Leben

Once a well-known sports journalist in the GDR, Wolfgang Kerber (Selge) had to start over again after the fall of the Wall - as a police reporter in the back and beyond of eastern Germany. Under pressure from his boss and seeking to get closer to his estranged daughter, Margitta, Kerber investigates the case of a missing girl from Margitta`s school. Hoping to land the big story about "the East`s lost generation", he is more and more confronted with his own past. But he ignores all the warning signs. Instead, he begins to manipulate the story.
