Synopsis
Autumn 1977. Hanns-Martin Schleyer is murdered by the Red Army Fraction and members of the Baader-Meinhof are killed at the Stammheim prison. In 1975, Lufthansa’s flight 181 to Mogadishu had been hijacked. This film tries to articulate a meaning, in this particular autumn. Terrorism seems to be the only strategy of struggle available to the extreme left.
