Das Manifest

1974 · 75 min

A sombre, low-budget chase through a hostile landscape, more about a broken man's inner exhaustion than about action.

Directed by
Antonis Lepeniotis
Genres
Thriller
Starring
Gerald Florian, Günther Hauser, Peter Garell
Overview
A man sentenced to death escapes from a military prison and finds shelter with a resistance group that is set to liberate the country. The repressive enemy never sleeps. The escaping condemned man is also no longer the old warrior he once was: he is broken - wonders whether the resistance can put him back together.
