We are ungraspable!

After a violent demonstration in the heart of Vienna's government district, a young man lies dead on the street. The protests continue and anger is growing, not only on social media. Is a member of the police responsible for the demonstrator's death? Was he possibly murdered? But by whom?

The flyers lying around everywhere contain a single sentence: ‘WE ARE UNGRASPABLE!’

The investigation team quickly realises that in this case, the lines between victims and perpetrators are blurred – and that someone in the background is trying to discredit the state and abolish the despised democracy.

‘WE ARE UNGRASPABLE!’ shows a divided society in which many people have a general suspicion of the political system, the media and the judiciary...

Press quotes

This film tackles the evils of this world with an unusual weapon: humour. The path to enlightenment leads along a motorway with no speed limit. This episode is one of the most successful of Rupert Henning’s series. It is original and elaborately directed, with neat digressions on the ‘Vienna method’, the subjunctive or the correct use of the term déjà vu, and surprising narrative twists right up to the end.
Matthias Dell, Die Zeit

Rupert Henning's (screenplay and direction) Viennese ‘Tatort’ goes all out and scores as a powerful and oppressive political thriller. Until the final minutes of the film, in which the investigation into the masterminds expands into European contexts that remain unclear, this ‘Tatort’ episode maintains its precise vantage point.
Heike Hupertz, Frankfurter Allgemeine

A combination of fast-paced political thriller and black comedy, the likes of which can only be found in Vienna. An explosive story, aptly directed and garnished with wonderful dialogue – an archetypal Viennese crime thriller that should delight its fans.
Marek Bang, Kino.de

One of the best episodes of Tatort in a long time. Rupert Henning has achieved something here that you don't see every day in public television evening programming: a film that is political without being clumsily propagandistic. It doesn't smooth over social divisions, but shows them. And despite all its gloom, it doesn't become cynical. Instead, it remains human. This is a clever, fast-paced, dark film about the state of a country teetering between self-deception and longing. It is a film about systems, about loss of control and the rebellion against it. And yes – it's also a damn good ‘Tatort’. Or to put it in street language: this film has balls. And brains. And heart. Thank you for that.
Oliver Alexander, Quotenmeter

A tour de force that unfolds between anti-establishment figures, large demonstrations and secret services.
Christoph Griessner, Salzburger Nachrichten/APA

The multi-award-winning author Rupert Henning adapted his screenplay into a political thriller that embeds social conflicts and threatening scenarios into a fast-paced crime story.
Fernsehserien.de

This action-packed political thriller is well done and, unfortunately, despite all the exaggeration, frighteningly realistic, especially in the current climate of conspiracy theorists.
