Kleine Zeitungsmeldungen, Randnotizen verzweifelter Personen, die nicht einmal einen eigenen Artikel bekommen, haben mich inspiriert, eine lakonische Tragikomödie zu erzählen. Über Menschen, denen das Leben einen Streich gespielt hat und die sich nun zu absurden Handlungen hinreißen lassen, um ihrem Schicksal zu entkommen. Wortlos, mit authentischen Gesichtern. Ich entschied mich für nicht professionelle Darsteller, und wir suchten dort, wo der Film angesiedelt ist; in Kärnten, wo ich auch aufgewachsen bin. In Tankstellen, Werkstätten und auf der Straße. Und wir wurden fündig. Ihr Leben ist in ihre Gesichter geschrieben und wurde zur Seele des Filmes. Ein Reigen, visuell stark und atmosphärisch inszeniert. Ein sehr menschlicher Film, manchmal zärtlich, manchmal brutal und meist skurril.
