It's obvious just looking at him. When the next project is announced already at the final meeting for the last one, he leaves without a word and decides to change his life. He meets Anna, a film student, and lapses into the idea that she should shoot a documentary about his life. Maybe it will be easier for him to start a new life after first passing review over the old one? At the same time, the detective Hans has a different problem: he was suspended because he got rough during an arrest. But he continues to investigate on his own initiative against a gang of teens who randomly attack passersby and publish the assaults as Happy Slapping videos on the Internet. These two apparently entirely different characters are the main characters in Austrian filmmaker Peter Jaitz's multi-layered premiere full-length feature film. The main theme is the difference between our perception of ourselves and the perception that others have of us. Whereas Alex voluntarily throws away everything to escape the normalcy of his life, external circumstances force Hans to take things into his own hands. Both men seem obsessed, each in his own way. ...Rimini
