Franz Fuchs - Ein Patriot

Both hands bandaged, brown contact lenses and large glasses, his face marked by explosion injuries and static-hardened: this is how we see Karl Markovic's character mime in the fictional part of this feature film documentary. The screenplay and direction of the television film about a dramatic piece of Austrian contemporary history is the responsibility of the multi-award-winning filmmaker Elisabeth Scharang. In it - ten years after the arrest of the letter bomber Franz Fuchs in October 1997 - Scharang reopens the case on the basis of the interrogation protocols and thus approaches the many open questions and theses that remained unanswered after the suicide of the guilty Fuchs. An exciting combination of feature film and documentary that shows numerous new facets - even beyond the criminal case.
