Restless Solitude

"Restless Solitude" is the story of young people who begin to perceive themselves in the context of their surroundings, though they cannot find an acceptable world within our civilized society. Instead of being accepted by a community, they see themselves as trapped in their adolescent dreams, because a world oriented exclusively towards material values cannot offer them an ideal place to live. Either one's spirit is broken when the individual is integrated into society, or the individual breaks with society. In both cases, the young adult is susceptible to seduction in a number of possible ways, eventually becoming a victim rather than a member of society.

He works as a projectionist in a shabby Viennese movie theater and lives alone with his red nameless cat in the free caretaker's apartment of a somewhat run-down apartment building. Now and then he visits his mother in a nursing home, meets with an old friend of his father, or comes to meetings of a savings club.
