Zwei Staatsanwälte

In 1937, amidst Joseph Stalin's Great Terror, a young Soviet prosecutor named Kornyev, recently graduated from law school, comes across a letter written by a prisoner in Bryansk, believing him to be a victim of NKVD corruption. Determined to seek justice for the wrongly accused, Kornyev obtains a visit through his oversight role and earns the trust of the imprisoned Old Bolshevik Stepniak. As Kornyev navigates the Soviet bureaucracy and confronts the darker side of Stalin's regime, he must decide where his loyalty truly lies: with the law, or with his own sense of justice.
