Directing: Melanie Hollaus

Synopsis

A house for the homeless was built in Vienna. The construction and the theme of homelessness gave cause to think about change and metamorphosis. A film about struggle and love, about work, art, and death came into being.
When the crane operator unwraps his sandwich ‘up in the skies’ early in the morning the homeless who spent the night at the construction site disappear. Two of them are Szusza and Philemon who fall in love and spend a summer daydreaming.
A director and his team of actors and actresses appear on the construction site as well where they work on Ovid’s tale of Philemon and Baucis. Paintings of Rubens are used to reenact scenes ‘Tableaux vivants like’.
