The Danube island in Vienna where life cannot be hidden away in the private home, where it is lived in the open for all to see. This is where many spend their "second real life", which begins after the workday.

At 19, Niko is still a real "milk boy" and wants to finally experience his "first time". When his parents are celebrating away from home, he wants to take advantage of the "storm-free booth" and invites the pretty Angelina. But she's not coming alone and Niko's friend Luke is also planning to hold the "mega party" at his place. He tries to prevent the worst from happening, but then someone hits on "his" Angelina. The initially inconspicuous but profound Sophie tries to distract Niko and suddenly he is caught between two women. At the excessive climax of the party, when young people from the whole area are celebrating in the garden and an indie band is playing, the parents burst in...

This documentary, Ulrich Seidl's full-length film debut, examines the lives of the street newspaper sellers in Vienna, a mixture of men from Turkey, India, Pakistan, Egypt and Eastern Europe, standing out in all weathers, peddling the trivial Viennese tabloids. We see their lives on the street, their cramped living quarters, their minders, the 'training' days, and the inhumane process which keeps them working endless hour for little reward.

Laura, mother of a newborn, struggles with a complex obsessive-compulsive disorder. She engages in repetitive actions to fill an emotional void to maintain a connection with herself. However, something disrupts this cycle. The doorbell rings unexpectedly, and a familiar voice breaks through her obsessive pattern.

Daily traffic jams on the South-East Express-Way, the most travelled road in Europe, reflection of a society dependent on cars. The jam makes many things visible for the first time; people showing their true faces in out-of-the ordinary situations.
