Hunderttausend Taler

In a tense postwar city, a quiet, morally upright clerk becomes entangled in a web of political maneuvering and complicity as a belligerent regime's schemes ripple through everyday life. His routine existence is upended when a chance encounter with a mysterious stranger exposes a dangerous bargain: a temptation that promises security and restoration but demands a heavy price. As pressure mounts from all sides—family, colleagues, and neighbors—the protagonist must navigate false assurances, hidden loyalties, and the chilling realization that silence can be as costly as betrayal. Amid shifting allegiances, he confronts the true cost of choosing between personal integrity and collective survival.
