A Kellergasse – the cellar lane – is one of the distinguishing cultural and physical features of the winegrowing region Niederösterreich – Lower Austria. There are more than a thousand of them. Until recently, wine was not only stored in the Kellergasse, but pressed and fermented there as well. Today, the Kellergassen have less to do with occupation and more with recreation. A documentary by Georg Riha follows a year in the life of this valuable cultural legacy.

The film tells the story of Laxenburg from 13th century, when it was used for hunting and fishing trips by the imperial Habsburg family, to modern day, a popular summer resort and a bustling international community.
Today Laxenburg is also home to IIASA, the Austrian Film Archive, and the International Anti-Corruption Academy. The film will also feature these organizations, their history, and the important work they do in the field of research and diplomacy that goes far beyond Austria's borders.

In no other province have as many cultural buildings been erected in the last two decades as in Lower Austria.The documentary Building for the Arts presents a few outstanding examples of this cultural development.Starting with St. Pölten’s cultural district and the “Art Mile” in Krems, we show how contemporary architecture has uniformly established itself - from the revitalization of historic sites, including monasteries and castles, to the construction of sensational new buildings. The viewer will be led through the broad spectrum of exceptional building culture in Lower Austria, a culture which provides art, theater and music with the plentiful and spectacular stages it deserves.

En el año 2001, el aclamado violinista Julian Rachlin fundó un festival de música de cámara en Dubrovnik. Introdujo un nuevo y exitoso concepto de reunir a algunos de los músicos más famosos del mundo y dejarles tocar la música que personalmente disfrutan. En 2008, el cineasta austríaco Georg Riha se unió al festival para acompañar cinematográficamente al violinista estrella: Masterly, como de costumbre, y en la más alta estética y calidad técnica, logró con esta composición de la película grabar el ambiente mágico de la ciudad en el mar y el relajado trabajo artístico de Julian Rachlin y sus amigos. Visita el Palacio del Rector, los ensayos, el mar, las conversaciones, el sol y el viento, conciertos y mucha diversión.
