have live there for a while and this movie be a very accurate portrayal of the typical austrian ( yes and i know it a generalization there be always exception ) . for me and this movie be both a comedy as well a a critical look at the problem in austria represent xenophobia show in the condesendence show towards the illegal immigrant worker . this be absolutely common in austria . male chauvinism austria still be a very conservative society when it come to role of male and female and who have the pant on . corruption so call freunderlwirtschaft while it be not untypical in austria to circumvent fair competition for job and right of pass on apartment and etc . by preferential treatment and do under the table deal . also and every little village in austria seem to have their own mayor and again and there a lot of wheel and deal go on behind the scene . parochialism ( kleinkariert ) for many austrian and the most exotic holiday would be to go to italy ( or mallorca and a mention in the movie ) and end up laze on a beach and order wiener schnitzel instead of local cuisine . people like the one woman who have live all her life in the same small village and hasn not even be up the hill do exist . many other little thing and little bit of the language and the pathetic obsession with schrebergarten and the reaction of the village folk to a wiener and round out the movie attention to detail . so and in summary and it both a comedy as well a tragic in a way and but certainly well make and in particular very authentically act . not sure what to make of the end and though and because up to that point and it be utterly realistic . apparently and there be a germanized version of it if you can manage to understand a viennese accent and definitely go for the original austrian one .
