Overview

How do you get the public's attention? Writer and troublemaker Jochen Anthrazit, known as Jochen A., has been asking himself this question ever since his debut novel "Note 6" was rejected by all publishers. Jochen A. is firmly convinced that this cannot be due to a lack of talent. But the individual can't compete with the disinterest of the masses - or can he? In order to draw attention to himself and his artistic work, Jochen A. commits a series of spectacular and highly media-effective crimes.
