Dürrenmatt's tragicomic satire "The Visit of the Old Lady" (1956) deals with how the power of money corrupts people's moral behavior. In the fictional town of Güllen, billionaire Claire Zachanassian offers a billion for reconstruction if someone kills the man who once disowned her. The film impressively shows how the inhabitants abandon their principles under the influence of wealth. The film shows the central role of money in capitalist society and its effects on social inequality, exploitation and crises. In its satirical portrayal, it is a strong call for enlightenment, solidarity and humanity for a fairer society. Come and join us! Drinks and snacks on site for a donation.
