The press: The current « crime scene », which runs on TV on Sunday evening, is a somewhat dystopian story: Vienna is full of enemies of the state and lateral thinkers who are demonstrating through the city center, throw molotov cocktails and ultimately want to falter the system. Suddenly a demonstrator is dead – and Moritz Eisner and Bibi Fellner have a new case. What did you inspire you to do this action?
Rupert Henning: On the one hand, I locate a retreat to private, an escapism. And at the same time an increasingly heated mood in terms of political or social issues. More and more against each other instead of together. And of course that affects you, because apart from the fact that you are a filmmaker, you are also a citizen of the world.
