There is a small, inconspicuous cinema in a small side-street in Vienna that seems to have stood still with time.
A group of old Ufa film fans meet there on a regular basis, where for a few Schilling they are whisked back to their youth as though in a time machine.
The documentary is a discovery trip to a place with morbid charm and portraits the colorful life stories of its comical and eccentric regular guests.
Little by little, the film uncovers their true desires: to stop the wheel of time for just a few moments, to hold on to their lost youth and to spit in the face of death one more time - with a lot of heart and Viennese charm.
