About Dennstein & Schwarz - Rufmord
Therese Schwarz represents the politician Konrad Wagner, a close friend of Paula Dennstein, who was pilloried by a newspaper for his #MeToo stigma. Therefore, the surprise visit from her little sister Marita doesn't fit into her plan at all. Especially since Marita, along with Ferdinand, has come into sensitive contact with the police due to a cannabis incident. For Konrad's defense, it's important to identify the slanderer, but it's a race against time, as the state elections are just around the corner...
Directed by Michael Rowitz, Dennstein & Schwarz - Rufmord leans on a strong ensemble — Maria Happel, Martina Ebm, Manuel Rubey — 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 screen titles of 2020.
