Warm summer afternoons, concentrated on a group of young women and men on a weekend in the small town of Wels, form the setting for Andreas Gruber's diploma film, which was shot at the Vienna Film Academy and exclusively with amateur actors. The film primarily tells stories of adolescence, the basic tenor of which is already revealed in the film's title, through poses staged with attention to detail. The soundtrack provides the driving narrative force, not only expressing feelings and hopes, but also elegantly capturing a mood defined by waiting, while simultaneously archiving it.
