What happens

Strange City (German: Fremde Stadt) is a 1972 West German thriller film directed by Rudolf Thome and starring Roger Fritz, Karin Thome and Peter Moland. It was shot on location around Munich. Unusually for the time, when colour film was the norm, the film was shot in monochrome. It was not a success at the box office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
