Hundertdreizehn

Hundertdreizehn

A night coach from Cologne to Graz breaks through the crash barrier, races into oncoming traffic and burns out. Each of the six episodes puts a different person at the centre whose life is thrown off course that night – from the driver’s widow to the firefighter in the burning wreck. Episode by episode, the fragments come together into a picture of guilt, chance and new beginnings. The title goes back to a study: every road death affects 113 people on average.
