Synopsis
Rural police officer Andrea (Birgit Minichmayr, DOWNFALL, THE WHITE RIBBON), has decided to end her unhappy marriage and transfer to a new position as a detective inspector in the city police department. As she drives home after a birthday party, Andrea’s soon-to-be ex-husband suddenly appears in front of her car, but in a state of shock, she is unable to avert disaster. That same night, being called to duty as the local police officer to the crime scene, Andrea discovers to her surprise and horror that the religious education teacher and recovering alcoholic Franz (Josef Hader) has confessed to the crime. He is convinced that he is to blame and so is everyone else in the village. So, while Franz starts drinking again, Andrea does everything in her power to cover her tracks. Perfectly blending dark humour and tragedy, this intelligent second feature from director/writer/supporting actor Josef Hader aptly captures the challenges of small-town life in idyllic rural Austria.
