Peter Hey

A young textile worker attempts to reunite with his love and is shot by border guards. A semi-documentarian movie with a strong pacifist message.

In the year 1970 several Austrian newspapers reported of Viennese people beating a homeless person to death because they thought he had stolen 50 Schilling. This story was the foundation for the play JESUS VON OTTAKRING which Pellert brought to the big screen in his directorial debut. A parable about intolerance in society.

The film jumps between the 40s and the 70s in Austria. Fateful and foreshadowing it highlights the entanglement of the economic system with the activities of the Nazi party, the Holocaust and the attempts to come to terms with the stories of the past. A spy thriller that tries to be everything at once.
