Vignettes of the lives of several residents of a Vienna suburb during a heat wave.

VIBE

A sweltering, languid summer in the Viennese suburbs. Lives intersect with a sense of weary resignation and desperate hope, where fate and bad luck conspire under the oppressive heat. It's a film about the quiet desperation and fleeting connections of ordinary existence.
