In the Fade is based on a true story. It is a narrative of the NSU murders. Radical right-wing terrorists have killed many innocent people in Germany and the criminal trial against Beate Zschäpe and other accused people is not yet finished. The role of the German secret service is still an open question. In acclaimed German-Turkish director Fatih Akin's new movie, Katja's (played by Diane Kruger) life collapses after the death of her husband and son in a bomb attack. After a time of mourning and injustice, Katja seeks revenge.
