Following the 2017 passing of Hans Hurch, the Viennale’s influential festival director, Gastón Solnicki was moved to both grieve and celebrate his dear friend by committing their relationship to film. Playing a loosely fictionalized version of himself, the filmmaker wanders like a flâneur through the vestiges of a post-empire Vienna, where the signs of death, and of Hurch, present themselves everywhere. What emerges is a moving, unique tribute to a friend, and to the notion of friendship itself.
