Brand

Author Brand hasn't put a word to paper since his wife has fallen sick. To cope with her imminent death and find a way out of his creative dead end, he begins a photo diary. He tries his best to care of her. To cope with her imminent death and find a way out of his creative dead end, he begins to record her demise in a photo diary. Eventually, he succumbs to temptation in the form of Angela, his wife's nurse, and begins an affair with her. What starts as a desperate expression of carnal desire spirals out of control when a jealous husband, a diligent police detective, a wise priest and proud wife become involved. Thomas Roth's erotic thriller is laced with black humor and is also a precise portrait of the Vienna literary set. Josef Bierbichler was nominated for the Austrian Film Award for his layered performance.
