Nothing special happens in the quiet, peaceful, and sad German city of Anröchte. Until the day in which its residents’ daily lives are disrupted by strange events: Hun knights armed with sabers perpetrate an arbitrary massacre for no apparent reason, decapitating people at random. Inspector Konka arrives in town to solve the mistery, along with his faithful assistant Walter, a philosopher type who reflects on the human condition as he wanders the melancholic streets of Anröchte.

Who are the young people drawn to far-right movements in the former East Germany? Behind the phenomenon of these gangs, the director seeks to understand their personalities, revealing, beyond that, a society in crisis where all values are crumbling—a gray city threatened by unemployment and a lack of culture.
