action

After the First World War and the fall of the monarchy, a young officer of the Austro- Hungarian Army, Franz Ferdinand Trotta, returned to Vienna from Russian captivity. He is overwhelmed with the new order and the circumstances. He has lost his fortune and his wife has indulged in a same-sex relationship with an emancipated Hungarian artist.

reception

The film-dienst described the film as an "atmospherically dense and very sensitive film adaptation of the novel". She takes “directly and without distance” the “point of view of the main character” and describes “beyond the death of an epoch, its inability to grasp this development”.
