A rare treat – an Austrian film?  Well, not that much of a treat but definitely an interesting little piece.  A Romanian couple go to Vienna to bring a stolen car back across the border.  There is a delay and they are forced to spend a week on the streets with barely any money.  In the course of those days they meet up with the local fauna, again a strange combination of people before the final dramatic return to the border.  It is a reasonable film giving us a good look at the disaffected young in Europe in a strictly run European nation which gives them little hope for the future.  Good acting all round from Maria Popistasu and Bogdan Dumitrache as the Romanians, Simon Schwarz as the failed security guard and a brilliant turn by Kathrin Resetarits as the drugged up crash test dummy cum amateur home decorator.  Her scenes are hilarious.
