Shot on super 8 film material.

Daniela is unsure about what to do next and where to live. Mia is finishing a master’s degree that she spontaneously started. Along with Natascha, another friend thinking of moving to Vienna, they wander around and talk.

Masturbation with YouTube Nature Porn: A Tornado over Vienna, the Peruvian rain forest and the Victoria Falls are the Porn Stars we're using to get our juices flowing and bring the outdoors to our home. The film, both in a critical and humorous way, deals with the concept of Ecosexuality, Nature Fetish and Activism as outlined by Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens in their Manifesto.

"Mr. Darcy: The synonym for the romantic hero since 1813, as he first appeared in Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice. The book had several movie adaptations (especially prominent [were those from] 1940, 1995 and 2005), which not only inscribe Darcy’s character in popular culture, but also illustrate our capitalist notions of love and desire, as well as a wish for escapism into a pre-industrialized, pre-virtualized world. I, too, fell for Mr. Darcy. Thanks to my webcam and Photo Booth, I can finally have my go [at] winning him over." (Daniela Zahlner)
