Sinopsis
When a Vienna museum guard befriends an enigmatic visitor, the grand Kunsthistorisches Museum becomes a mysterious crossroads which sparks explorations of their lives, the city and the ways in wich works of art reflect and shape the world. The film is an engaging study of a relationship, but also a portrait of Vienna and a meditation on the crossings between life and art and the museum as intermediary.
