W. - What Remains of the Lie

A documentary about a biography that covers an entire century: the delusion of Bruno Wilkomirski, who wrote a celebrated book about his childhood as a concentration camp victim and was later revealed. How this deception came about, how the person concerned reflects on it from the distance of almost 20 years and what it says about our country and our time.
