Revanche

Nahaufnahme eines Mannes mit Stirnfalten, der nach unten schaut, vor einem neutralen Hintergrund, mit dem Filmtitel "REVANCHE" und dem Namensnennung des Regisseurs und Hauptdarstellers daneben.

He's a gofer in Vienna's red-light district; she, one of the whores. They want to start a new life and rob a bank. As they escape, a shot is fired and Tamara dies. Alex sets out to take revenge for his lover's death. "Revanche" goes from the turbulent city to tranquil nature, from summer to autumn, from longing and guilt to the chance for reconciliation.
