Reviews

« One of the most beautiful Viennese films of recent years is hidden behind this underhanded comedy, which could not be more topical in terms of nowadays politics. … This film, which was shot without funding for just under 2,500 euros, allows itself the most beautiful moments when it pauses for a moment and leads us to roadside eateries and suburban pubs on a long summer night – and ap- parently effortlessly spreads a pleasant feeling of happiness as if we were right there with the three friends. The urgently needed antithesis to the prescribed social distancing of these days. » Florian Widegger
