Thousand Lines, A

While working together for major news magazine “Die Chronik”, freelance journalist Juan Romero (Elyas M’Barek, The Collini Case GER21, also in this year’s Love Thing) encounters inconsistencies in a cover story by award-winning reporter Lars Bogenius (Jonas Nay, Deutschland 83). Juan undertakes his own research and uncovers a potential scandal, but when he informs his editors, the board of directors dismiss his concerns and stand with their celebrated leading writer as the stakes are too high. However, Juan will not relent and pushes the boundaries risking his career, his reputation and his family in search for the truth.
