Der Reiter is the fictional account of a futuristic Nazi America, and contains disturbing subject matter, homosexual themes, portrayals of racism and extreme violence. If you're a trauma survivor, be aware there's a great deal of potential triggering material, so viewer discretion is advised. |
| Detective Edison Álvarez isn't homosexual; he tells himself that every day. His bigoted boss can think whatever he likes, but awkward Edison merely 'admires' his über-sophisticated friend Misha. Unfortunately Misha is dating a gorgeous female journalist, and Edison's mother is desperately trying to arrange a blind date for her timid son with a neighbor's daughter. No time to worry about all that now; he has bigger things on his plate. A serial killer is butchering pregnant women, and if he doesn't solve the case he'll be off the force. After his failure on a previous assignment, his homophobic boss has completely lost patience with the clumsy, stuttering detective. This killer seems to be more than just an ordinary murderer, however, and apparently has connections to Edison's great uncle, a Nazi war criminal in World War II. |
