The movie The Golden Glove, based on the novel of the same name, tells the gruesome tale of notorious German serial killer Fritz Honka who haunted Hamburg’s red light district in the 1970s.
The movie follows Honka as he frequents his favorite bar, the “Golden Glove,” where schmaltzy German songs move the boozy bar hounds to tears and drinking is a reflex against the pain and longing. There, Honka, a pitiful loser chasing after lonely women, keeps more than just secrets in the attic.
