Hands up! Again and again, Norbert Gmeindl is surprised by a written request and repeatedly raises his hands. Does he really have to die? The danger seems to have passed. He lights a cigarette and takes a pleasurable drag, producing thick clouds of smoke and curls. Gmeindl, who doesn't smoke, almost falls into a trance. (Text: Magdalena Steffan)
