Synopsis:

Two exceptional documentaries about Bernhard Kimmel, who was in the headline of German newspaper's in the 1950s because of spectacular robberies and burglaries. In 1961 he was sent to prison for 14 years, but released already in 1970. His attempt to live virtuously fails. During a burglary he kills a policeman and in 1982, he is sentenced to life imprisonment. Peter Fleischmann describes a life between Robin Hood fame and prison which also reflects a forgotten chapter of German postwar history.

Bernhard Kimmel was the head of a gang of robbers that captured German newspaper headlines in the 1950s. In 2 unique documentaries, Peter Fleischmann documents a life lived between Robuin Hood fame, robbery and murder, police pursuit and prison, which also reflects a chapter in Germany's post-war history.
