Die Kameraden des Koloman Wallisch

The small Styrian town of Bruck an der Mur becomes a stage for political grandeur. In Michael Scharang's poetic and melancholy film, made for television 50 years after the events, the political and the private are balanced. Although the relationship between a worker and a commoner takes centre stage, the film creates a precise and sober picture of the times that proves to be astonishingly timeless.
