With minimalist precision, great calm and casual images, we accompany two young women in their early twenties. They drift through their everyday lives in the Viennese art scene. They float side by side between public life and retreat, melancholy and hope, searching and finding, without giving preference to one or the other. Wherever the two women drift, there seems to be no staying. Everything remains fleeting, like dreams, computer games, performances or meditations. Or like the lives of the protagonists. Behind the apparent wandering lies a search as an independent form of perception. With a guest appearance by the wonderful Reines Prochaines.
