But what begins as an academic exchange soon develops into an oppressive psychological duel. The professor realises that his opponent is planning an attack \u2013 and the bomb is already armed. This tense chamber play raises explosive questions about radicalisation, violence and the possibilities of reconciliation. It profoundly illuminates the tension between hatred, mutual awareness and the struggle for answers in a world with and without God.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<br \/>\nThe <b>Biberach Film Festival<\/b>, which has been an integral part of the German film scene since 1979, offers a diverse programme and is known for its intimate atmosphere and the lively exchange between filmmakers and audiences.

He visits Professor Neuweiser, a professor of Islamic Studies, to tell him about the exciting terrorist attack he initiated this morning. Martin is confused when terrorists are criticised because he believes that they only follow what is written in the Quran. Or can Professor Wise Martin show a passage that clearly forbids killing people with bombs? If not, Martin&#8217;s bomb will consequently kill many people. The professor has no other weapon than the Koran itself, the word of God, to prove that violence is forbidden.<\/p>\n<p>But did Martin really visit the professor just to get the advice of a \u2018wise man\u2019 or is there something else behind the unannounced visit? Martin himself is the big mystery throughout the film, which only unfolds in its full emotional depth at the end \u2013 only to finally detonate in the hearts of the audience.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;107200&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nNMy3hSnTcE&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; title=&#8221;Martin Reads the Quran (Trailer) \u1d34\u1d30&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]More information about the movie: <a title=\"Heikos Welt (2021) von Dominik Galizia | Darling Berlin\" href=\"https:\/\/ucm.one\/en\/rock-n-roll-ringo\/\">Rock &#8216;n&#8217; Roll Ringo<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Weitere Informationen \u00fcber das Filmlabel: <a title=\"Darling Berlin\" href=\"https:\/\/ucm.one\/en\/film-labels\/artkeim\/\">Artkeim\u00b2<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]One week before the official cinema release on 7 November, the Biberach Film Festival will present Jurijs Saule&#8216;s debut feature film \u201cMartin Reads the Quran\u201d (German title: &#8220;Martin liest den Koran&#8220;) in a festival preview.
