Klaus Fried was a teenager when his father Erich Fried, the writer, died. He had to share him with the entire world public. The son embarks on a search, meets family members, friends and companions and, together with Julia Albrecht, tries to piece together a picture of his father from the memories of these people. When he meets Astrid Proll, co-founder of the RAF, the hard struggle for answers makes it clear how similar father and son are.
