On May 21, 1975, the trial of the members of the Red Army Faction (also known as the Baader-Meinhof Gang) began. Four members appeared before the Stuttgart court to answer for the attacks that had been raging for five years in the young Federal Republic of Germany. The documentary, whose title is borrowed from Berthold Brecht's In Praise of Dialectics, recounts the conditions of the trials and detention of the Baader-Meinhof Gang members and the disqualification of Klaus Croissant as their lawyer.
