Plot
In the summer of 1982, 14-year-old Kalinka Bamberski died at her stepfather's house in Germany, where she was staying for the holidays of her boarding school. When the case was closed by the German authorities without a real explanation as to how the teenager died, her French biological father, André Bamberski, became certain that her stepfather, a German doctor, was involved in her death. He spent the next 30 years fighting for the truth, pressuring both French and German authorities into investigating further.
