Director Fabuli Schnibuli's cinematic tour de force whisks audiences away on a poetic, melancholic journey with singing seniors – cardigan-clad artists searching for meaning in a world devoid of it – to picturesque Marktgemeinde Großarl. Daring and delightfully unhinged, the film transcends all boundaries and conventions: It is a meandering ode to the absurdity and fragility of life, a profound meditation on the human condition, a dreamlike tapestry of past and present, remembrance and oblivion, and a subtle critique of local pastry culture. With his wit and sensitivity, Schnibuli conjures a haunting and ethereal hymn to nature's beauty and human intimacy, all underscored by the gentle rustling of leaves, the babbling of streams, the resonance of Günther's remarkable baritone. Those who embrace this thought-provoking and inspiring opportunity to rediscover their lives in the subjunctive will lose themselves and find themselves again – a true testament to the possibilities of cinema!
