Gasman

Bernd is an actor at St. Pauli Theatre in Hamburg, until now only working as a side cast, he was talked into acting in "The Gasman" by the theatre manager. It is a poisonous set about two SS officers that are collecting "undesirables" directly at home to destroy them on the road. His leading role is a nightmare from the start. Director Frank, so far making films is an ingenious despot who rehearses with culprit and victim separately. Bernd's partner Mathis is a subservient careerist and Bernd did not like the play at all.
