Starbuck, that is the helmsman of the Pequod in Melville’s novel "Moby Dick". Starbuck, that was the code name of the German terrorist Holger Meins. He was the first Red Army Faction member to die in custody in prison on hunger strike in 1974. 25 years after his death, Gerd Conradt, filmmaker and friend, sets off searching for the trail of the helmsman of the Baader-Meinhof Group. Who was Holger Meins? What made him go underground? Which circumstances caused his death, a death transforming him into the declared symbol of radical resistance? What remains of him? A whole range of companions give information about this path through this tragic chapter of German history. (DOK.fest München)
