Gastón, an Argentine filmmaker, travels to Austria at the invitation of the famous Viennale, the film festival which his late friend Hans conducted for two decades prior to his death. As an hommage, Gastón has programmed a film by Ernst Lubitsch, one that he feels embodies the spirit of Hans. Arriving in Vienna, Gastón is immersed in the majestic cityscape as it refracts the mood of mourning that occasions his visit. The city, itself an intimate evocation of Hans, plunges Gastón into its depths, with its oneiric rituals, its cult of the dead, its ancient contours.
