13 ans se sont écoulés depuis la fin de la guerre et pourtant, les cicatrices perdurent au sein du pays. Johann Radmann, un jeune procureur allemand, tente par tous les moyens de réparer les torts commis durant ce terrible génocide. Donc lorsque ce dernier découvre une liste contenant le nom d'une quinzaine d'officiers SS ayant servi au camp d'Auschwitz, il ouvre immédiatement une enquête afin de faire justice. Radmann se rendra vite compte que lorsqu'on tente de déterrer le passé, on rencontre bien des embûches. Malgré le mutisme des autorités locales ou le manque de collaboration de ses collègues, le talentueux avocat réussira à condamner une vingtaine de nazis, après cinq ans de persévérance.

Blu-ray special features onLABYRINTH OF LIES include a commentary track with Ricciarelli and Fehling, an interview with Ricciarelli and Fehling at the Jewish Film Festival and deleted scenes.
Synopsis
Germany 1958. In those years, "Auschwitz" was a word that some people had never heard of, and others wanted to forget as quickly as possible. Against the will of his immediate superior, young prosecutor Johann Radmann (Alexander Fehling) begins to examine the case of a recently identified teacher who was a former Auschwitz guard. Radmann soon lands in a web of repression and denial, but also of idealization. He devotes himself with utmost commitment to his new task and is resolved to find out what really happened. He oversteps boundaries, falls out with friends, colleagues and allies, and is sucked deeper and deeper into a labyrinth of lies and guilt in his search for the truth. But what he ultimately brings to light will change the country forever.
