In the aftermath of 1989 a clandestine far-right German terrorist group called National Socialist Underground or NSU began operating in Germany by killing immigrants in cold blood, termed the Bosphorus Serial Murders. The victims are brutally slain with the same gun. The police never even consider a right-wing conspiracy – despite evidence to the contrary – and focus on internal ethnic feuds. Hovering above them are three comrades who have been arrested and let go time and time again: Beate, Böhni and Uwe. The trio draws the attention of the Intelligence Service. As the inevitable showdown approaches, Uwe and Böhni choose a radical way out. A few days later Beate turns herself in but refuses to cooperate. In fact, it even seems that the Intelligence Service and Beate are protecting one another. What was the trio’s motivation? And how could the Intelligence Service be so blind? The 3-episode series features the NSU killings from 3 perspectives: perpetrator, victims, investigators. Each part is written and directed by a different team.
