Hass im Kopf

A right-wing radical, who is not quite aware that he is one, goes around with his buddies beating people up and taking part in scene events. Things look bad at home. His mother is in the hospital because her husband beat her up. The drunken father has long since brought in a replacement, a homeless woman. The teenager lives in eternal stress with the alcoholic, but gains respect from his father through his right-wing radical friends. From now on, his home becomes the main meeting place of the clique. When one of the antisocial outings of the clique ends fatally for one of the victims, the father offers his son and his friends first an alibi, later a hiding place..

Directed by Uwe Frießner, Hass im Kopf leans on a strong ensemble — Markus Johannsen, Ulrike Panse, Gerhard Olschewski — 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 drama titles of 1994.
