The story of the 1992 attacks on the asylum seekers home of Rostock-Lichtenhagen and the change of the asylum-laws in Germany in 1993.

In 1992 the Rostock riots and violent outbursts of a mob of 5000 in the north German town of Rostock shocked a worldwide TV-audience and led the attention to a new German problem: neo-Fascism had become a serious problem. The film shows the investigation of the incidents through a commission of enquiry build in the parliament in the town of Schwerin.—Mathias Schwerbrock
