Series

A whiff of Atom Egoyan's double Oscar-nominated crash and fate drama "The Sweet Hereafter" wafts through this German-Austrian co-production, which makes it clear that an accident means and can mean much more than statistics from the Federal Ministry of Transport would have us believe. According to these statistics, 113 people are directly or indirectly affected by such an event. And the drama series named after this figure makes it clear what this can mean in individual cases. Parallel to the investigation into a devastating bus accident in the middle of the city, each episode takes an exemplary look at one of six prominent people involved (including Armin Rohde, Friederike Becht and Max von der Groeben). And illustrates what fractions of a second - both positive and negative - can do to people's lives.
