Nordrand

Vienna in the winter of 1995: Jasmin and Tamara have known each other since their school days and now they meet again in an abortion clinic. Jasmin wants to get away from her family, her abusive father, her boss who got her pregnant and her boyfriend Wolfgang, who also beats her. Tamara is unhappy in her relationship with Roland, a conscript on border duty. The two young women become friends again ... In many ways a new beginning in Austrian cinema and the starting point for numerous careers in front of and behind the camera in terms of both design and content: "The wonderful actors give NORDRAND a centre, a heart that touches and hurts, amuses and irritates, in other words, achieves things that have always been rare in Austrian film."
