What it’s about. The emotional death of an oversexed society. No one helps anybody else. But then, shortly before Basti attempts to commit suicide, before he jumps from Vienna's Reichsbrücke into the notoriously gluttonous Danube, something happens between the two young protagonists. Basti and Claudia meet on the bridge. Two bungee jumpers without a cord. They both recognize themselves in the other's life, between reform school and the family's butcher shop, between child abuse and games that involve getting tied up.
Who’s in it. Donauleichen stars Christian Blümel as Basti, Marie Miklau as Claudia, Deborah Wargon as Sunny and Hilde Dalik as Christine, among others.
