About The Mystery of Piskov
Piskov, any idyllic small town in 1969. One day there is an incident that causes a sensation in press, radio and television, but leaves the citizens of Piskov completely cold. All clocks stop and time stops! A being from the future, more precisely from the year 523 to Gagarin, lands in the small town! The skeptical inhabitants ignore the incident completly. Two journalists (Hellmut Lange and Hannelore Elsner) try to get to the bottom of things and ask various witnesses about the mysterious events...
Directed by Karl Peter Biltz, The Mystery of Piskov leans on a strong ensemble — Hellmut Lange, Hannelore Elsner, Wolfgang Büttner — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1969.
