Die Turing Maschine von Benoit Solès

In the organizer's words:

"Have you ever kept a secret? A big secret. No? Then you don't know how hard it is. Believe me: of all immaterial things, silence is pretty much the hardest to keep... And my life has been full of secrets. Have you ever heard of Enigma? Of course not. How could you? Well, now listen carefully..."

This is the incredible story of Alan Turing, the English mathematician who cracked the Germans' secret code during the Second World War. Turing constructed a "thinking machine" that turned out to be the first computer. Condemned to silence by the secret services, he was convicted of homosexuality - in this way he could be "legally" put aside. He committed suicide by biting into a poisoned apple. And the bitten apple reminds us today of a world-famous logo...

"...great cinema in the form of a suspenseful chamber play [...] As always, Wiedermann miraculously succeeds in activating the viewer's imagination as well as empathizing with moods. Never has the actor Leon Sandner been seen with such intensity [...] With subtle nuances he develops the various facets of an original but also strangely insecure character who [...] irritates but also fascinates those around him. This applies to the hustler as well as to an inspector who approaches the phenomenon of Turing's personality in the interrogations, as well as to the world chess champion... Fritz Lordick embodies all these roles very convincingly in rapid changes of demeanor and linguistic style." (Donaukurier)
