Andreas Vitasek - Kurzzugende 2008

He is invited to the chancellor's party. But on the way there, he feels a little sentimental. So he takes a detour via Favoriten, where he grew up. This is Andreas Vitasek: poetic, cheerful, and a little devious. In what is perhaps his most personal program, Kurzzugende oder Ich war auch einmal so wie Sie, naja (1997). It's about the nature of happiness, claustrophobia in elevators, the art of cooking beef soup, impossible love and the possible consequences of trivial decisions, fame, alcohol, money, and gender confusion. In other words, all things human, served up indirectly and slyly.
