One Minute of Darkness
Fiction, 2011
Synopsis
Molesch (Stefan Kurt), an asylum inmate, is convicted for sexual crimes
that were never proven without any doubt. A security video shows him and
the victim short before the crime, but the critical minute is lost by
material fault, not reconstructable.
Giving farewell to his dead mother in a hospital, he escapes by accident
through a hidden door. Like a hounded animal he moves around the area
of the town Dreileben, hiding in the forest. The police, directed by
superintendent Marcus Keil (Eberhard Kirchberg), hunts him like an
animal. The sling around his neck gets tighter and tighter…
