The Conspiracy is an animated documentary that shows how a centuries-old myth has moved from the fringe to the mainstream, becoming a pillar of modern anti-Semitism. The conspiracy that ravages the lives of these characters is set against the backdrop of a larger story about the Jewish people.
The year is 1975 and Pierre Goldman, a fiery and controversial figure of evolutionary left-wing activism, stands trial. Guilty of numerous charges, Goldman proclaimed his innocence after being accused of a double murder. The Goldman Case is based on a true story that divided a country.
Sarah Halimi was murdered by her Malian-born neighbor. This case is emblematic of the rise of anti-Semitism in France today. The case's various developments, the fact that there are no longer any charges against the murderer, and the prevention of any reconstruction of the case, make it a new Dreyfus Affair.
For five years, director Günter Schwaiger accompanies the developments surrounding the subsequent use of Hitler's birthplace with a very personal view. From questioning the cliché of the "Nazi city" to surprising and outrageous discoveries, his path ultimately leads to his own family history.
