TODESPOLKA
synopsis
Austria, in the very near future: the last elections have brought Austria a radically right prime minister, Siglinde Führer. Now, Austria is out of the EU, has got the Schilling back and is about to re-introduce the death penalty and basically making itself into a totalitarian state. Most of the people are happy with her but some find the development worrying. One of the latter group is Raphael, a medical student. His best friend Michael, another medical student, is black and therefore in the target group of the hate attacks. But both Michael and Raphael remain convinced that they are safe – they are doing nothing wrong, aren’t they? Unfortunately, that’s not how mobs work…
