“The sixteen-minute short film ‘Behördenhasser’ (The Affront) by Zurich-based director Jonas Ulrich is the portrait of a faceless man. A story of escalation.”
- Tages-Anzeiger
“We see a system and how all the people who have to deal with it fail. In addition to its intelligent narrative style, the short film also impresses aesthetically with its quiet camera work and good dialogue.”
