    Synopsis

    Shame never silenced Paul B. One of hundreds of thousands declared 'unworthy of living' ('lebensunwert') under Nazi racial laws, he is one of the very few to publicly fight for his rehabilitaion. By focusing on Paul B.'s story, the film reveals a dark chapter in German psychiatry, which didn't exactly end in 1945. Several decades later, the consequences have caught up with Paul B. once again.
