Synopsis:

Future in the Past. In our country, the far right has taken over. Their charismatic leader sieglinde fuehrer has become chancellor on the platform of a strict law & order policy. Eu-membership belongs to the past. The Euro has been abolished, the schilling is reintroduced. In spite of a climate of hate & intolerance towards minorities two medicine students, one of them coloured, still feel safe. 'If you behave yourself, you won't get in trouble', they believe. But soon, they are to be proven wrong. It's the night of the big TV-Polkashow, with the populist chancellor Sieglinde Fuehrer as special guest star, where she reiterates her message of hate and intolerance. The long distance effect of political acting awakes the lowest human instincts. In a quiet suburban area amongst law- abiding citizens, the horror begins... Todespolka is inspired by the political situation in Austria.

Austria, in the very near future: the last elections have brought Austria a radically right prime minister, Siglinde Führer. Now, Austria is out of the EU, has got the Schilling back and is about to re-introduce the death penalty and basically making itself into a totalitarian state. Most of the people are happy with her but some find the development worrying. One of the latter group is Raphael, a medical student. His best friend Michael, another medical student, is black and therefore in the target group of the hate attacks. But both Michael and Raphael remain convinced that they are safe - they are doing nothing wrong, aren't they? Unfortunately, that's not how mobs work…

Todespolka 2010 The far right with their charismatic leader Sieglinde Fuehrer are now in control of the country. In a quiet suburban area the horror begins.
