O filme é sobre pessoas e caves e o que as pessoas fazem nas suas caves, no seu tempo livre. O filme é sobre obsessões. O filme é sobre música de fanfarra e árias de ópera, sobre mobília cara e piadas machistas baratas, sobre sexualidade e tiro, actividade física e fascismo, chicotes e bonecas.

They loan money from a pimp and begin casting the girls. When filming starts they find out that sex in front of the camera is hard work. Also you should know how to work a video camera.

After screwing up a money exchange a Viennese small-time crook accompanied by a Russian hostess hits the road to the East.

É o dia mais quente do verão. É o verão mais quente de todos os tempos. Na periferia de Viena, na terra-de-ninguém entre a auto-estrada e os hipermercados, sufoca-se. Para as famílias burguesas que habitam monótonas casas pré-fabricadas, idênticas umas às outras, o tédio solapa qualquer iniciativa. Em roupas de baixo, biquínis ou sem nada, as pessoas se arrastam pelo asfalto. A temperatura aumenta. Paira no ar uma atmosfera de violência latente. Vai começar uma jornada de música e jogos, sexo e violência. Dias repletos daquela estranha sensação de amortecimento do desejo de amar, da perda do amor e, o mais terrível, da esperança de um dia encontrá-lo. Dias de Cão, em registro documental, se passa nos "dias de cão", referente ao período mais quente do verão europeu, entre 24 de julho e 23 de agosto. O nome vem da constelação de Cão Maior, a mais presente nos céus durante o verão.

Megacities is a documentary about the slums of five different metropolitan cities.

Thomas, a student drop-out, keeps his head above water with a life of petty crime. Passing himself off once again as a ticket inspector on a tram to extract money from fare-dodgers, he is confronted by Erich, a genuine inspector, or so it seems... However, Erich won his inspector's identity badge at cards. The two begin to meet regularly. Thomas doesn't realise until too late that he is to play a major role in Erich's long-planned coup. The well thought out plan succeeds. Unfortunately, however, Erich has failed to consider how he can convert his booty - a lorry load of valuable carpets - into hard cash. Their problems are just beginning...

Herbert lives a rather simple life, left to his own devices. He works as a projectionist in a shabby Viennese movie theater and lives alone with his red nameless cat in the free caretaker's apartment of a somewhat run-down apartment building. Now and then he visits his mother in a nursing home, meets with an old friend of his father, or comes to meetings of a savings club. Saving money is pretty much the center of his life because he has a dream. He wants to emigrate to the U.S. to buy his own movie theater and to reunite with his long-lost father. But when Rita, a young student, moves into the apartment building things in his life are changed completely.

Set within a Viennese apartment block, this affectionate Austrian comedy makes fun of the strange habits of the famed city's residents. The building is located in a middle-class area and has residents from many age groups and walks of life. Many of the tenants are much older, but there are also a few children about. In one apartment lives a large group of Polish construction workers, while a Yugoslavian woman and her huge family attempt to survive in their tiny flat. The episodic story of the lives of these and other tenants is framed by a visit from a civil servant from the Office of Statistics.

A film about news, life and death. Before the media became so prevalent, we were concerned about our immediate neighborhood. At the end of the day, news was the subject of our conversations, but now it's possible to converse with someone at the other end of the globe. We do it all the time. It's simple. The world has become one big neighborhood. Now Headline News has replaced the back fence. That's the news service of the eigthies. It's a new idea and a new approach.

A sketch: Observation of everyday life of people and situations in Vienna. "Visual art is an excellent way of observation in our culture. The everyday situations are seen briefly, continously but rarely as perceived and consciously experienced." (Michael Kreihsl)
