"Living like the rich for everyone" – that was architect Harry Glück's vision for the Alterlaa social housing project in the south of Vienna, which was built in 1970. Around 9,000 people live here, a colourful mix of different origins, lifestyles and interests. In her film, Bianka Gleissinger, who was once one of the residents herself, traces both her own history and the stories of those who remained there. What remains of the utopia of yesteryear? An exciting and enjoyable search for clues. (Joachim Kurz)
