Synopsis
Australian premiere
Staatsschutz
Winner of the Audience Award at the 2026 Berlinale, Prosecution is an engrossing tale of good versus evil that cleverly combines legal drama and thriller for a powerful and urgent story about the realities of Germany’s judicial system.
With all the resources and authority of the state behind her, self-assured young German-Korean prosecutor Seyo Kim (Chen Emilie Yan) is determined to confront far-right violence in eastern Germany.
But when she becomes a target, surviving a racist attack, Seyo decides to investigate on her own, defying explicit orders from her superiors and putting her life further at risk. When she finally succeeds in bringing one of the attackers to trial, she fights to expose him as part of a wider right-wing network, digging deep into her office’s archives and weaving a tangled web of connections.
But throughout the trial, Seyo begins to learn what it means to trust the pursuit of justice in a state that applies double standards and downplays far-right violence, as the system’s myth of objectivity begins to crumble.
