Synopsis
Compilation of found home-movies, made by a Viennese male hospital nurse, offers an original and personal portrait of a political grouch and opportunist, filled with rhetorical and ironic monologues. Peter Haindl, a hospital orderly in Vienna, shot these home movies from 1993 to 1999. They were given to filmmaker Rainer Frimmel, who created this compilation. An original self-portrait and a monologue delivered by a contemporary Herr Karl (the perfect incarnation of an opportunist and big-mouth), this psychological striptease is both personal and political. While striking various poses around his apartment, he addresses an imaginary public, his speeches ranging from defiant to contrite. Each one shows a different side of his personality, from political grumbler to poet in a wide-brimmed hat.
