影片讲述了发生在1981年2月23日西班牙的一场军变未遂事件。1975年军事独裁统治随着弗朗哥的去世而终结，国王胡安·卡洛斯重新坐上了王位，但人们期望已久的新生活由并没有很快到来。1981年2月23日下午6时许，西班牙众议院正在对首相候选人进行投票表决，这时约200名荷枪实弹的民防军官兵包围了议会大厦，包括全体阁员和各党主要领导人在内的300多名众议员全部被扣为人质。。The subtitle of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet’s first feature, from 1965, “Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns,” suggests the fierce political program evoked by their rigorous aesthetic. The pretext of the film, set in Cologne, is Heinrich Böll’s novel “Billiards at Half Past Nine,” which they strip down to a handful of stark events and film with a confrontational angularity akin to Bartók’s music that adorns the soundtrack. The subtlest of cues accompany the story’s complex flashbacks. The middle-aged Robert Fähmel tells a young hotel bellhop of persecutions under the Third Reich| his elderly father, Heinrich, an architect famed for a local abbey, recalls the militarism of the First World War, when his wife, Johanna, incurred trouble for insulting the Kaiser. A third-generation Fähmel is considering architecture, just as the exiled brother of Robert’s late wife, returns, only to be met by their former torturer, now a West German official taking part in a celebratory parade of war veterans. Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands.。
