The filmmakers first met Stefan in 2015, in the therapy ward of Brandenburg Prison. As the filmmakers follow an ice-cold woman-killer through the last years of his prison term, they face some uncomfortable questions. Can anyone really know what is going on inside this (or any) man? Truth and falsehood blend in a cascade of presumption, in a thoughtful experiment with what the makers define as “proximity film,” bringing together different aspects of identity performance and registers of intimacy.
