For many, the Alterlaa residential park remains the manifestation of a residential utopia. The filmmaker grew up in the buildings known as the “Glück(s’)bau” in a play on the architect’s lastname.

In the stories of the residents, she traces her own memories and thus creates a playful portrait of the here and now.
