What happens

Mene Tekel è un cortometraggio muto del 1913 diretto da Joseph Delmont. Si hanno pochi dati sul film che venne prodotto a Berlino da Franz Vogel. Il titolo fa riferimento alle parole di una scritta apparsa su un muro alla corte di Nabucodonosor che venne interpretata dal profeta Daniele come l'imminente caduta di quel monarca corrotto.
