In a suburb of Vienna during some hot summer days: A teacher who is in bondage to a sleazy pimp, a very importunate hitchhiker, a private detective on the run for some car vandals, a couple with a serious marriage problem and an old man, whose wife died long before on the search for some sexual entertainment live their lives while their lifelines cross from time to time.

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.
