Ulrich Seidl's documentary feature debut is about newspaper vendors in their yellow and red uniforms: Young men from India and Egypt, from Pakistan and Turkey - Mohammedans from the Third World who sell newspapers on the streets of Vienna. Here the world of newspaper sellers, there the world of newspaper readers in Austrian living rooms. "I didn't want to make a film that would expose the machinations of a newspaper corporation, not one that would only make the viewer feel sorry for the colporteurs, and not one that would only talk about good and evil, but one that, by observing foreign worlds, would direct our gaze to our own everyday life and its madness." ULRICH SEIDL

"One of the best documentaries of all time." WERNER HERZOG
