Tanz mit dem Teufel<br />
DANCE WITH THE DEVIL<br />
66<br />
The crime that rocked the nation and took over twenty years to solve: 25 years ago, Richard<br />
Oetker, heir to one of the largest fortunes in <strong>German</strong>y, was kidnapped. For the first time ever, he<br />
has agreed to collaborate with a film team to tell his story.<br />
It was the crate. To this day, it still unnerves Richard Oetker when he looks back… It is 1976, and<br />
Oetker is kidnapped and forced into a wooden crate. The kidnapper demands, and gets DM 21<br />
million, an unheard-of sum at the time. Oetker is freed, but while in the crate he suffers an electric<br />
shock that leaves him crippled for the rest of his life. Georg Kufbach, the police agent who found<br />
Oetker, begins a quest for justice that will last nearly 20 years. Convinced that a man named Cilov<br />
is the kidnapper, Georg, working closely with Oetker, begins to circle in on his prey. Cilov knows he<br />
is trapped, but Georg has no proof; Cilov has the money, but Georg has to catch him with it. Like<br />
Oetker in his crate, all three are trapped within the narrow confines of their desires and obsessions.<br />
All three are inextricably bound together, hurtling towards the startling outcome…<br />
