Flucht ins Schilf

Death at Lake Neusiedl. A body is discovered in the dense reed belt. Rumors spread like wildfire through the village. An innocent man is arrested, while a group of young men grows increasingly nervous…
Steinwendner focuses primarily on the social dynamics within the village community. The tightly framed shots of the reed forest turn it into an impenetrable labyrinth, while the Pannonian village becomes a dark Western town.
