Zur Lage 2002

< back
In the wake of the recent change of power in Austria, four filmmakers set out to conduct a cinematic survey of Austria, each in his or her own way. The purpose was to document the political and social state of the nation and its people. In the course of their quest for microcosmic revelations, the four directors encountered people whose lives are made up of both private and political dimensions.
