Detective Harder (Valery Tscheplanowa) takes on her first case after surviving a bomb attack during a police mission to Afghanistan. The remains of a girl are discovered in a moor near the small German town of Friedland. But Harder's investigation falters from the outset - not least due to the discovery of a live bomb dating to the Second World War, which throws the Friedlanders and Harder herself into turmoil. This encounter with Friedland's brutal history forces her and the small town community to confront echoes of the past. ECHO unites formal clarity with dark humor, creating what could be called an anti-war comedy. The film is a probe into the collateral damage of wars of the distant and not so distant past, focusing on collective and individual forms of grief, loss, trauma and guilt.
