Synopsis
Elfi is a fat woman in her forties who works in the assembling line of a printing house, and spends the rest of her time busy with another routine: taking care of her aggressive mother, who lives in an almost bedridden condition. That living situation gets altered when she goes out with her work colleagues, and meets a strange character who plays Elvis Presley covers. This medium length feature by Putzer & Severin draws a low, almost invisible Austria –cinematographically speaking–, where a group of non-actors pictures a sensitivity that turns this portrait of daily life into something that no genre can define.
