A well-crafted if routine procedural that follows the decades-long struggle of a father to apprehend and imprison the man he believed killed his 14-year-old daughter.
Full reviewDaniel Auteuil is a father bent on proving that the death of his 14-year-old daughter was no accident in this French drama based on a true story.
In 1982, André Bamberski (Auteuil) learns of the death of his daughter, Kalinka, while she was on vacation with her mother and stepfather in Germany. Convinced that her death was not an accident, Bamberski begins to investigate. A botched autopsy report raises his suspicions and leads him to accuse Kalinka’s stepfather, Dr. Dieter Krombach (Sebastian Koch), as the murderer. Unable to indict Krombach in Germany, Bamberski attempts to take the trial to France, where he dedicates his life to Kalinka’s justice and the imprisonment of Krombach.
