Documentary Film, AT 2026, DCP, 77 min, 21.3 OmeU, 22.3. OmdUFerlach in Carinthia is known for the traditional craft of gunsmithing. This history has left deep marks on the small town near the Slovenian border. Where the Wehrmacht and partisans once fought, guns are still being made today, and tradition still plays a major role. A calm, watchful film that listens closely, with which the young, bilingual filmmaker explores the complex history of the Carinthian borderlands.
