In August of 1992, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, anti-immigrant riots are taking place in the East German city of Rostock. After three days of riots, it ends with the so called 'Night of the Fire' when 3,000 rioters, neo-Nazis and bystanders set ablaze the shelter with 150 Vietnamese refugees inside. This film recounts these true events.
