Die Rebellion

In one of his least known works for Austrian television, Michael Haneke asks what it means to live for duty in an increasingly technocratic world that recognizes nothing in anyone. Literary adaptation-must for fans of the great director.

Synopsis

In post-war Vienna, soldier Andreas Poom has lost a leg for his emperor, but recognition from his country never comes. As a reward, he receives a leave of absence and a musical instrument so he can make a living playing it in the courtyards of Vienna. Throughout his life he will always be honest, always obedient - but to what end? When his realization and revolution comes, will there still be time for him?
