Greengrocer Kassbach, in his mid-50s, is a member of the right-wing extremist ‘Initiative’, which plans and carries out numerous attacks and assassinations in the Vienna area. His family is oppressed by him, he treats his son with authority and incomprehension, women are strange and scary to him. The organisation's activities ultimately lead to disaster ... Peter Patzak, who died in March this year, draws a realistic and detailed psychogram of a petty bourgeois, setting new standards in the process. ‘This individual case shows the traditional trivialisation of neo-fascist forces and actions. Not a specifically Austrian phenomenon.’ (Peter Patzak) (red)
