One day in July 1982, André Bamberski is informed of the death of his daughter Kalinka.  She was fourteen and was spending her holidays in Germany in the company of her mother and her stepfather, Dr Krombach.  Straight away, André becomes suspicious about his daughter's death.  Dr Krombach's strange behaviour and a disturbing autopsy leave many unanswered questions.  Sure something is amiss, André embarks on a personal quest to uncover the truth.  His investigation will last 27 years and become the sole obsession of his life...
