The Beautiful Blue Danube
The Beautiful Blue Danube

Synopsis: Whores, petit bourgeois, East, liberals, the Orthodox, West, women, artists, perverts, men, the Catholics, rich and desperate�one more final duel in On the Beautiful Blue Danube. Interwoven stories in dusk, the ship leaving the port, the culmination takes place at dawn, creating a floating sin city. Although they seem to be in great conflict, people from East and West share the same petit bourgeois dreams and consumer�s utopia. The melody of the anthem On the Beautiful Blue Danube is a background of the little heroic deeds, big sacrifices and meaningless treachery. In the whirlpool of freedom illusion, all this can only lead to hunger, thirst and lust satisfaction. In the post heroic, post aesthetic, post spiritual phase- only a dream has survived: the need for love.
