"When I grow up, I actually want to be a cable car technician. Or a director. But I still have time," says young actor Maximilian Reinwald. In any case, he already has the best qualifications for the latter. At the age of eleven, the Pinzgau native was already in front of the camera as an actor alongside Simon Morzé and Karl Markovics for Adrian Goiginger's feature film "The Fox". 

Reinwald is currently filming in Bad Gastein until the beginning of August. Filming for the movie "Das geheime Stockwerk" is in full swing at the Grand Hotel de l'Europe. For once, Reinwald is one of the old hands in the children's ensemble. "I think it's great that there are several children and nice supervisors on set this time. We're pretty spoiled there".

In the film, Reinwald befriends the hotelier's son Karli in the role of Georg the shoeshine boy. In his parents' hotel, he can use a mysterious elevator to travel not only between floors, but also back and forth in human history. In the process, he also learns about the Second World War and its consequences.

The feature film "Das geheime Stockwerk" is part of a transnational initiative and is intended to sensitize young people to the beginnings and effects of authoritarian systems in a sensitive way.
