"In Paris in 1981 while attending an overseas conference, Max Baumstein, a 60-year-old Swiss human rights activist and noted chairman of a humanitarian organization, shoots the Paraguayan ambassador dead in cold blood. Then he turns himself in to the local authorities and is tried for first-degree murder. This film, which explores the emotional scars of life in postwar Europe, reveals through flashbacks that Baumstein had recognised the South American ambassador as the former Nazi official who was responsible for the extermination of the peace activist's family when he was a child in 1933. In this, Romy Schneider's final film, she plays the dual roles of Max's wife, Lina, and Elsa, the German refugee who helped save him from the Germans as a child and became his foster mother."
