Die Unschuldsvermutung (2021)

Anticipation in Festspiel-Salzburg: The new production of "Don Giovanni" is in the final rehearsals, the arrival of the famous conductor Marius Atterson is imminent. Unfortunately, the no-less-famous opera director David Roth feels so provoked in a rehearsal that he shoots himself offside with his lack of restraint. The festival president stays cool and persuades Beate Zierau, a director who is rightly considered to be particularly difficult, to start production--a spicy choice, because Atterson and Zierau were once married. The festival director also rightly fears quarrels. The press, on the other hand, is happy about the coup. Especially journalist Franziska Fink, who has decided to expose the charming seducer of women Atterson as a "MeToo" perpetrator. Zierau comes in at the right time with her outstanding bills, or Atterson's agent Ada Lubovsky, whom he is currently ensnaring. Not to mention the maestro's current master student Karina Samus, who leads the rehearsals for him and shares a Parisian past with him. Franziska teams up with friends Ada and Karina to expose the conductor. A dark cloud is gathering over Marius Atterson before the premiere.
