An investigation into two contrary, but equally radical lives, both of which ended through violence: Alfred Herrhausen, chairman of the board of Deutsche Bank, died in 1989 in a bomb attack presumably planned and executed by the RAF. Four years later, the suspected RAF terrorist Wolfgang Grams was to be arrested at Bad Kleinen station, but died in a hail of bullets. The circumstances surrounding his death were never fully revealed.
From 1985 until 1989 he studied psychology at FU Berlin and at the same time received a training in film dramaturgy and directing by the Polish director Krzystof Kieslowski at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin.
In addition to his film works Andres Veiel writes and directs stage plays , i.a. at Theater Basel, Schauspiel Stuttgart, Gorki-Theater and Deutschen Theater (Berlin).
