EIN MORD FREI
What if every person were legally allowed one murder?
Modern society considers itself to have moved beyond the age of violence. But is that true? Or do we simply no longer see raw violence because we have managed to classify it under enough aspects that align with our understanding of morality? Reduced to its essence—life or death—Ein Mord frei presents the image of a society that sees itself as functional but demands ever more control to maintain its order. Whether it be death threats on the internet, the victims in online news that we swipe away when inconvenient, or the lingering and gawking at accident scenes, death is undeniably a part of us in many forms.
You can’t choose your parents. But do you really need both?
On the very day of their daughter Mia’s 18th birthday, the clumsy parents Christian and Simone stumble upon a serious death threat. Apparently, their rebellious daughter plans to send one of them to the afterlife, thanks to her newly acquired license to kill. Now, parental empathy is needed—or even better, strategy!
Determined to give their daughter an unforgettable birthday while curbing her youthful fury, both parents go all out. But Mia sees right through them, and between cake and balloons, it becomes a fight for survival for Christian and Simone—armed only with each other’s mistakes.
