Bernhardt Jammernegg

Max Liebermann, a student of Sigmund Freud, helps Detective Rheinhardt in the investigation of a series of disturbing murders around the grand cafes and opera houses of 1900s Vienna.

The performances by Petra Morzé (as a mature thespian preparing for a video audition) and Marlene Hauser (as the daughter assisting her) illuminate this gently comical drama that intelligently touches on a range of issues within its brief running time.

What happens when others suddenly behave the way we want them to? What happens to the "self" when this constantly changes our relationship with our environment, constantly creating new constellations with "the others" that inevitably escalate? Six episodes tell the story of a character who struggles with himself and the world, and who is allowed to reshuffle the deck in each episode.
