Comedy

Herbert Krcal (Roland Düringer) and his wife Margit (Nina Proll) dream of owning a home. They prefer to do this in the "Blue Lagoon", a prefabricated house park in the south of Vienna, where they regularly go on pilgrimage with their son Philipp. Just as regularly, they have to recognize the bitter truth that they cannot actually afford the dream house they have visited.

VIBE

A painfully relatable and darkly funny look at domestic dreams clashing with harsh reality. It's the awkward, cringe-inducing feeling of wanting more but being stuck in the mundane, captured with unflinching, deadpan observation.
