„GASPERLMAIER AND THE GUESTS“
Locals and second-homers

Not only as a police officer, but also as a private individual, Gasperlmaier has dealings with guests in Altaussee. Those who leave again, and those who want to stay.
Scenes from various crime films illustrate the often not entirely smooth relationship between Gasperlmaier and those who come to the Ausseerland from elsewhere – and not always with entirely honourable intentions.

This offers an insight into the latest Gasperlmaier Altaussee crime novel
„Der letzte Landler“.
Herbert Dutzler is reading.
Musical accompaniment by the Hitt'n Trio.
Advance ticket sales* €20,- Box office €22,-
