In the Basement

The film sketches Austrians’ relationships with their basements, and also looks for answers to the questions of what makes them different and whether such special characteristics exist at all. This film tour through the everyday lives of Austrian cellars managed to find answers and even ask some new questions, thereby shining a little light on facts normally hidden beneath the ground.
