The true story of legendary Robber Kneissl, a Robin Hood style figure rebelling against hunger, poverty and injustice in 19th Century Bavaria, who started out as a simple poacher and became a mythic figure. With baffling inescapability, he becomes a hunted criminal and is executed at the age of 26 in the year 1900. (Filmfest München)
