plot synopsis:
This documentary deals with the release of Peter Øvig Knudsens study "Efter drabet" in Denmark in 2001. The release was followed by turmoil, because the study deals with 400 liquidations committed by the Danish resistance movement during World War II. Unjust murder and self justice change the view on the Danish fight for freedom.
