Project Ballhausplatz

In PROJEKT BALLHAUSPLATZ, Kurt Langbein precisely reconstructs the long-planned rise of Sebastian Kurz. A collage of archive material and interviews with companions and critics deconstructs the master plan behind it and shows the methods that led Kurz from the Young ÖVP to the office of Federal Chancellor. The film tells the story of the rise and fall of an admired man whose secret is as terrible and banal as the world of the self-admired works. With politics purely as an end in itself in order to expand and cement power.
