Losses to be expected
by Ulrich Seidl
Austria, 1992, colour
The food supplies left in the deep freezer by Joseph's late wife are now running low. But not far away, on the Czech side of the border, the widow Paula chats with her sisters about their deceased husbands, alcohol and sex. Joseph longingly watches her with his binoculars from his side of the border: it’s time to look for a new wife.
