Scheinbar wurden sie mit Wildtieren verwechselt und von Jägern erschossen. Als es zum Prozess kommt, werden die Schützen freigesprochen. Wer den tödlichen Schuss abgegeben hat, lässt sich nie beweisen. 20 Jahre später begibt sich Philip Scheffner auf eine Spurensuche nach den Hintergründen. Mit REVISION wird ein juristisch abgeschlossener Kriminalfall einer filmischen Neuaufrollung unterzogen, die Orte, Personen und Erinnerungen miteinander verknüpft und ein fragiles Geflecht aus Versionen und Perspektiven einer europäischen Geschichte ergibt. Zum Fall erschien von der Koautorin Merle Kröger der Kriminalroman „Grenzfall“.","technik_farbe":"color","world_sales":"","filmtitel_en":"","screenplay":"Merle Kröger, Philip Scheffner","producers_countries":"","production_company_country":"pong Kröger & Scheffner GbR Skalitzer Str. 62 10997 Berlin Germany T / F +30-61076098 info@pong-berlin.de www.pong-berlin.de","regietext_format":"PHILIP SCHEFFNER, born 1966 in Homburg, Germany, has been living and working as an artist and director in Berlin since 1986.
