A story like a film: It's about robberies and murders, brutality and tenderness, imprisonment and freedom. About dependence. Also about love – and betrayal. Norman Volker Franz saws and saws and saws. It's dark over the prison in Hagen near Dortmund, but soon a little light seeps into the world. For hours, as can be reconstructed, Norman has been driving the saw blades, studded with diamond chips, through the bars. His hands are sore, he doesn't stop, millimeter by millimeter he saws, pushing towards everything he believes he deserves: freedom, happiness, a life with the woman who loves him, whom he loves. Sandra Franz waits near the prison in a red VW Polo. She has withdrawn money from the bank, 1500 marks. In the car are food and clothes, as well as two forged passports. And a Česká pistol, plus two loaded magazines, caliber 9 mm Luger. #truecrime #documentary #breaking
