How I Taught Myself To Be A Child

Paul Silberstein, adventure-hungry offspring of a Viennese confectionery dynasty as sophisticated as it is mysterious, discovers not only love in late 1950s Austria, but also the power of imagination and humor - as well as his extraordinary talent for creating his own realities. An entertaining, imaginative and warm-hearted story about holy and unholy fathers, bumblebees in the head, seductive pigtail sisters, table rag swallowers, a sparkling dogling, the secret of freedom and the bathtub of desirelessness. Magical realism - sprung from the André Heller cosmos!

"A convincing ensemble of actors and intoxicatingly beautiful images... A film that gives courage." ORF CULTURE
