WIENER BLUES: THE LONELIEST MAN IN TOWN
Tizza Covi / Rainer Frimmel, AT 2026, 100 min

The world of blues musician Al Cook is slowly falling apart, but amid the ruins, a long-forgotten dream suddenly resurfaces.

Al Cook lives alone in his old apartment and a small basement studio, surrounded by memories: books, videotapes and vinyl records bear witness to a once-fulfilling life. Here, time seems to stand still while the world outside keeps turning. The blues, the music that means everything to him, is gradually fading into oblivion. His hometown no longer feels like home, and the loss of his beloved wife Silvia weighs heavily on him. When a ruthless property development company plans to demolish his building, a question arises: how do you carry on when the place that holds your memories is about to disappear? Forced to leave everything familiar behind, he embarks on a radical new beginning.
