Reviews
The catcher redeems the city of Hamelin from its plague of rats for a 'good wage'.
He achieves this goal by simply playing the flute, but it is precisely this lightness that the industrious citizens find difficult.
This is outrageous in a country where work without hardship and diligence is no work.
So it is only logical to deny the catcher his reward. Work with artistic means and no payment for it?
Moment! That reminds me of something! Correct: The free culture of the Internet age, in which artists in particular are misjudged as leisure workers and whose works should not be paid for. The theme of 'The Catcher' is explosive and highly topical.
