ICH BIN SOCKIERT! im Double Feature mit MEERESRAUSCH (ODER WIE EIN STERN ZU SEIN)
What do lost socks, quirky Schlager stars, and life’s big questions have in common? They take centre stage in a whimsical yet touching evening of film, presented by the Junges Wiener Ensemble. The programme will screen a double feature of two surreal tragicomedy films by director Helmut Karner, which explore the depths of the human soul and our longings through offbeat humour, absurd ideas, and plenty of emotion.
The programme kicks off with MEERESRAUSCH (ODER WIE EIN STERN ZU SEIN). Ferdi, a passionate drinker, idolises the god-like Schlager star Hansy Vordermeer. To get closer to his idol, he radically overhauls his life. But instead of understanding, he mainly meets with irritation from his family. Amidst vitamin mania, experiences of addiction, and family expectations, a struggle for change begins that is as grotesque as it is human.
This will be followed by a preview of ICH BIN SOCKIERT! For 173 days, Alma and her ten-year-old daughter Leyla have been trying to come to terms with the death of Alma’s partner and Leyla’s mother, Carmen. While Alma, with the help of a TV spiritualist, wants to banish all memories from her life, Leyla attempts to bring an old T-shirt belonging to her mother back to life using the Frankenstein-esque power of ‘sockology’. In a world full of living single socks and absurd miracles, the impossible suddenly becomes conceivable.
