Gegenstimme

A feature film project by author Jakob Pretterhofer, based on the novel “Voice of Dissent” by Thomas Arzt.

April 1938. Karl Bleimfeldner, a student, returns to his hometown in the provinces to vote against the annexation of Austria by Hitler’s Germany. He is the only one his village to do so. By taking this risky course of action he endangers his own life in a region that is politically inflamed. “Voice of Dissent” is a social panorama which forensically investigates the twenty-four hours of 10 April 1938.
