Synopsis
The story of a group of people in Vienna. Erwin came to Vienna from some provincial town, full of expectations, he wants to become an actor. Karin, a waitress in a small suburban cafe, almost goes to pieces over her love. Wolf is a writer and he hates life because his writing is no good. Claudia from Germany never made it and still lives in this neurotic city where people strangely seem to be carrying self-inflicted burdens. All are on the look-out for a different life, their own life, real life. Perhaps it is a film about Vienna.
