Suburbia - Women on the Edge

Vienna suburb. Better society. Appearance and reality. A golden cage. But is everything that glitters really gold? Actually, the five "suburban women" of the title couldn't be doing any better in their supposedly perfect, affluent world – could they?

Gut gegen Nordwind

Alle Sieben Wellen

Emmi and Leo are back! Almost a year after his "escape" to Boston, Leo is back - and answers. And even though neither of them really wants it (or does he?), even though each has tried to set up his life without the other in the meantime, they become so close again so quickly that "I" and "you" become "we". Again. And this time they meet. But the first meeting is strange, the second leads to a fateful "palm touch", but that is by no means the end of their story... Six waves lap onto the shore, but the seventh holds a surprise.

Vote!

It was her voice that made him want to stay. Only first he has to win everyone’s vote. Downvoted by the community a young man learns how to play by the rules of a bizarr jazz club, lobby to the top and all for love and glory. Yet can one persevere in society without losing one's soul?
