Angeschwemmt: Directed by Nikolaus Geyrhalter. With Josef Fuchs, Vickerl Albrecht, Kastner Herbert, Helene Rotaru. ‘Washed up’ presents a portrait of people who spend their lives on the banks of the river Danube or on the river itself. (Robert Buchschwenter)

“u0026quot;Angeschwemmtu0026quot;, Nikolaus Geyrhalters first full-lenght documentary, focuses on a place called u0026quot;Friedhof der Namenlosenu0026quot; (The Cementary of Unknown Dead), a place, where all those nameless suicides, washed ashore on the Danube-riverbanks have been buried. The film getu0026#39;s the old grave-digger and other people talking about there lives alongside the river and creates a very special athmosphere: you almost get to sense the fog and the dampness of the Danube-meadows.”
