U.S. Premiere Austria - 90 min Written and directed by Chris Raiber.
With Thomas Prenn, Verena Altenberger, and Margarethe Tiesel.
When Alexander’s mother died, his father moved into an underground tunnel to be as
close to her as possible. So Alexander, who has lived with his grandmother since,
promised himself that he would never fall in love. Instead, he decides to live underground
like his father, although in this case that means working at a lost-and-found office
in the metro station that he rarely leaves. But things get complicated when he meets
Caro, a young woman who works in the metro’s hat shop just across from him. A magical
romance whose wonderfully strange and whimsical setting is grounded by compelling
performances from Thomas Prenn and Verena Altenberger as Alexander and Caro.
In German, with subtitles.
