In the year 1970 several Austrian newspapers reported of Viennese people beating a homeless person to death because they thought he had stolen 50 Schilling. This story was the foundation for the play JESUS VON OTTAKRING which Pellert brought to the big screen in his directorial debut. A parable about intolerance in society.

In this end-of-the-life scenario, which is designed as an expressive silent film with subtitles, a group of adolescents and scattered loners move through a destroyed landscape. One of the leaders is poisoned by his girlfriend, who now takes his place and demonstrates her power to a newcomer. However, he in turn passes the test of courage, puts himself in the place of the head of the group and leads the ever-growing community into an uncertain future.
