Mit Blick auf Wien
Austria 2008, 11 min, language: German
Flat viewing in an elegant Viennese neighbourhood. It seems like the landlady and the potential renter have worked it all out. The girl has been looking for a flat like this one for herself and her boyfriend for quite some time – sunny, spacious and with a large roof terrace. And her classy appearance goes well with the expectations the bourgeois landlady has about future renters. After all, not everybody can afford such an exquisite flat. All that is left to be done is sign the lease. The girl’s boyfriend is about to arrive to do just that. But this is exactly when things get complicated: The girl’s boyfriend is not from Austria.
