In the debut film directed by Michael Hanek, fragments from the three years of life of a successful Austrian family are shown. Like everyone, it does not do without trouble and unrest - then her husband has a problem at work, then his brother’s brother has another attack of depression, then the daughter begins to pretend to be blinded. Well, in general, their life is so monotonous and boring that they understand - you can’t live like that anymore. And they decide to quit and leave for Australia. Or somewhere else. The main thing is away from the monotony of everyday life.
