Projekt Ballhausplatz - Aufstieg und Fall des Sebastian Kurz

How a group of young men managed to take over the government and lead it to the brink of democracy. What drove the "Praetorians" and why almost the entire country lie at their feet. Why the European public marveled and admired this.

"He entered the political arena with great plans and risqué ideas. Edgy and non-conformist, Sebastian Kurz wanted to show that "politics does not always have to be deadly serious and that it can also be fun." An exceptional career followed with an inglorious end. Langbein’s film presents 13 years of political history, a rogue act and fragments of rehabilitation. A reckoning with the Kurz era."
