Three film documents reflect on a central
question of urban life in different ways: what leeway
exists for young people to take possession of
their own space in satellite cities and large housing
estates permeated by technology and regulation?
Gustav Deutsch’s first film allows an ethnographic
look at youth rituals, Robert Dornhelm’s report, and
Rene Brueger’s short film provide unique historical
documents of youth culture and intergenerational
conflicts of the 1970s and 1980s in Vienna and Graz.
