Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald

Viennese suburban squalor, lewdness during a swimming trip on the Danube, economic dependencies, double standards, in short: a rotten world to which innocence falls victim: the lovely girl from the 8th district, engaged to a stuffy butcher, falls in love with the strizzi Alfred. It can't go well ... Schell's formal framing is extremely restrained, revealing the finely nuanced psychological mechanisms of his characters.
