Silent Masters

DER GEISTIGE ARBEITER

AUT 1922
V'11

In those days, “a spectre is haunting Europe”. In Alle Räder stehen still, social reformers are anarchists shot on the run after instigating blue-collar workers. When the illegitimate son from a liaison between such an “agitator“ and the daughter of the factory owner returns to the factory an engineer, strike is again in the air. The engineer follows the example of his father, who he does not know, and spearheads the strike. He prevents violent escalation and becomes director of the company, leading it “boldly into a new era”.
