FICTION
Himmel oder Hölle
Heaven Or Hell
Wolfgang Murnberger
Early Seventies in a small village in Burgenland, Austria: we are watching a boy of being confronted with two of the most
prevalent taboos: death and sexuality. The generally accepted forms of recourse offered by religion and society have cracks,
don't work any more, and thus are being ignored, by-passed or interpreted from a child's angle. In addition to all the well-known
play-grounds in the open air, the attic andthe basement, this boy's world is composed of his father's movie theatre andthe
butcher shop andvlocal pub run by his two oncles.
If a Red Indian is shot dead, he needs to count to 100 to become alive again. This is the simple rule of the game – the dream
of eternal life come true. Life for a boy of ten is yet another game, but what are its rules?
